In a recent post you suggested a climbing wall overhanging 15 to 30 degrees.
Do you mean 15 to 30 degrees past vertical which would make the wall angle
105 to 120 degrees.

Question for Wes
Um, I am not much on the whole math thing, but I am pretty sure it is 15 to 30 off vertical. 15 is nice since you can use smaller holds, and 30 is good because it works the core. Ray and Michelle can maybe give you the exact angles of their walls, which, to me, are at the perfect angles. Super steep can be fun, same with vert, but if you have limited space and $$$ a wall at 15 and one at 30 works really well.

When speaking about indoor climbing wall constuction it is customary to indicate wall angles as degrees past vertical.

Why does the floor behind the wall have to be 0 degrees? It is common practice for 0 degrees to be vertical in climbing descriptions of walls and cliffs. Who would describe a rock climb as 15 degrees and mean it to be 15 from horizontal which is hiking?
