When I moved into my new home, I spent a little time on reconnaissance for somewhere to train for climbing.

I initially thought a fingerboard would be the way to go. However, all the doorways were flimsy stud walls and not sturdy enough.

An alternative jumped out - Rock Rings by Metolius. If only I could find somewhere to hang them, then I’d be doing fingertip pull ups and deadhangs to my hearts content.

It took a little work but here you go - I bring you the (not very) patented Phil Sheard attic rock gym:

Edit: No, you wouldn’t be the first to draw a similarity with something Hannibal Lector might have - but don’t let that stop you leaving an amusing comment anyway!
