We've finally managed to put up the climbing finger board that Lucy bought me. It is from Metolius and is for training at home. Some people convert whole rooms, but we have a small bit of the room off the kitchen. It is growing mind you (bought two packs of these), now that we have mastered drilling holes for boards in brick. Given a larger house, who knows what we might create.
The installation guides, as supplied by Metolius, are for wooden buildings, not brick ones, so some experimentation was required. Drill straight and when marking off the board use some small nails so that the board does not move whilst marking where to drill. I used 4 inch deck screws on three-quarter inch plyboard. Measure twice and cut once and all that.
So this will be the training regime for the rest of the summer, plus climbing at Mile End and outdoors at Stanage.
