The Beginnings of our Bouldering Wall

How we got started..

One day my sister and I were day dreaming and we thought it'd be pretty cool to build a bouldering wall. Problem is we've had no experience building anything and absolutely no construction or carpentry knowledge. We called an expert to come take a look and he said he could help us build it over a weekend or so. After thinking about it, we decided that what we wanted was not really just a bouldering wall - but we wanted to build the wall ourselves. I always had a secret aspiration to be a carpenter so this was the perfect opportunity. 

We chose our spot - the pondok (hut) in our garden and began drafting our plans.
