Wood Framing for Dude -Tex Bouldering Walls
Bouldering walls may be framed in wood. but walls that are subject to the loads
from climbing rope anchor points are best framed in steel.
1. Ledgers.
Ledgers are horizontal boards (2x6) that will be fastened to the existing building
wall(s) at the top of bouldering wall height (12'), and also at approximately half height
(6'). Fasten the ledger to the lwilding wall with: �-
2- #8 deck screws/stud in wood stud framed buildings �2 tJ �ltil �i(�l
2- #12 sheet metal screws/stud in steel stud framed buildings
3/8" wedge anchors @ 24" o.c. into concrete walls
Install the ledgers continuously behind the bouldering wall. and stop them about
I' short of where the bouldering wall ends into the building wall.
Framing of the bouldering wall surface shapes.
The face framing should be 2x6 material. 2x4 can be used, but may flex just a
little bit under heavy load.
You will be supplied with a set of drawings that gives precise dimensions and
geometry for each of the face plane "shapes" and also a foamboard model of the
bouldering wall showing how all the shapes fit together. The dimensions and geometry
refer to the exact face of the framing, behind the plywood sheathing. This is generated
from a "wireframe" computer model, which means that the dimensions do not take into
account the thickness of the materials we are using to build with. Decisions and
corrections will have to be made. especially at outside corners (aretes), where the 2x6
material will "fill up the corner" and interfere with the adjacent framing. An experienced
and thoughtful carpenter will be needed to create framing that will assemble without
interfering with itself.
Start by snapping the footprint of the wall on the floor. Create your first shape
according to the drawings and taking into account how adjacent shapes will butt into this
shape. Fabricate just the perimeter of the shape -don't worry about interior studs for now.
Fasten the first shape to the floor with screws or concrete anchors @ 2'0" o.c. Create the
next adjacent shape and fit it to the first. Join shapes to one another with through nails
and also perforated steel strapping or Simpson flexible angle plates if good through
nailing is not possible. Continue across the climbing wall one shape at a time. Brace the
shapes back to the ledgers only where needed for now. because we want the ability to
muscle and tweak the shapes into position. Use the model to determine overhang angles.
Continue until all the shapes are up and in place and the framing looks like the model.
Good job! The hard part is done.
3. Interior Studs.
Interior studs should be laid out and installed so that the maximum plywood span
will be 48". Either end nail or toe -nail the studs in place. An angle clip or joist hanger
may be used if good nailing is not possible.
4. Bracing.
Bracing can be 2x4 material.
The goal of bracing is to tie back each vertical (or mostly vertical) bouldering
wall framing member back to each ledger at ledger height. Most shape perimeter
members will be adjacent to the next shape perimeter member. and so will be a "doubled"
member. Only one brace needs to be attached to these doubled members. Each interior ;ia irg elf
stud will need a brace back also, but only at ledger height (the braces should be level). RP Level
In addition, we want to install an upwardly diagonal brace from the "lip of roofs"
up and back to the upper ledger. Install these approximately every 4' along the lip of a
roof. A roof is defined as a surface more than 45 degrees overhanging.
Braces should be nailed through the side of the stud they are bracing, and then be
toe nailed to the ledgers. Simpson hurricane ties H2 or equivalent will join each brace to
the ledger, and may be used at the brace-stud connection if good through-nailing is not
possible.
5. Sheathing. .t 2, S OK: ,1-/ 2, 7
3/4' Tongue & Groove Oriented Strand Board (OSB) makes a good sheathing
matenal. Other sheathing products may also be used. A T&G sheathing eliminates the
need for blocking at joints. Sheathing should be glued with a subfloor adhesive such as
PL-400 or equivalent, and then nailed to framing with 8d ring shank nails at 8" o.c. into
all framing members.
There are a variety of techniques for measuring the geometry of the framing and
then cutting the sheathing to fit. A 4' drywall type square and a 2' framing square are
good tools to have. A refresher course in high-school geometry is helpful also. T&G
joints should be tight, and a bead of glue should be run in the T&G joint before assembly.
The perimeter sheathing joints do not have to be particularly tight if you will be using
metal lath and Dude-Tex as a surface. Perimeter joints just need to be good enough to
provide good gluing and nailing to framing members.
If Dude-tex is being applied, lath can be applied at the top edge of the bouldering
wall to form a nice "grab rail" for the top of boulder problems. If Dude-Tex is not being
used. finish the top edge to provide a suitable gripping surface.

I. OBJECTIVES AND APPLICATIONS
The following specificattons represent the standard requirements and experiments for protection bolts fixed to
Artificial Climbing Structures (ACS) and to the floor surrounding them. This represents the second part toward
standardization of Artificial Climbing Structures.

3. DEFINITIONS
3.1 ARTIFICLAL CLIMBING STRUCTURES
Sports equipment exclusively designed and onginally built for climbing. May be movable or non-movable.
3 2 ANCHOR POINTS
Anchor points are used to belay climbers dunng their ascent or to lower them from on their descent.
There are 5 main types of anchor points depending on their function.
3.2.1 PROTECTION ANCHORS
Used to secure the rope to while leading a climb, or to lower off if the climb is too difficult.
3.2.2 BELAY ANCHOR
Usually places along the top of the wall and used to secure the rope while belaying a climber. Also used to
secure the rope while descending or being lowered.
A belay ancnor must consist of at least mo distinct anchor points that are or can be linked by a chain (or
webbings in a "V" with a rine (or locking carabmer) in its infenor part.
3.3 FLOOR ANCHOR
Floor attachments placed at the base of the ACS. used to secure the belayer while either belaying or lowering a
climber. The anachments can be either fixed or movable.
3.4 BELAY STATLOIIS
Usually places part way up a larger ACS. Used to stop and belay a partner up so that they may continue
climbing from that point.
A belay station must consist of at least two distinct anchor points. linked by a chain (or webbing) in a "V" with
a ring (or locking carabmer) in Its inferior pan.
3.5 BELAY BARS
A linear belay anchor usually made from pipe or a rail. Allows the belay rope to be moved along the top of the
wall. may accept more than one rope for use at one time. Usually placed along the top of the wall and used to
secure the rope while belavm¢ a climber. Almost exclusively used to top rope climbers and lower them back to
the ground.
4. DISPOSITION AND PLACEMENT OF PROTECTION ANCHORS
4.1 The protection anchors must be placed so that a lead climber. who has their feet over six (6) feet from the
ground can not take a ground fall with a normal belay condition.
4.2 The vertical distance between two protection anchors shall not be greater than two meters (6'-6-3/4").
5. EXPERIMENTS
5.1 EXPERIMENTS ON RADIAL RESISTANCE
Experiments on radial resistance must be done on a wall similar to the finished product. The forces can be
exerted either by the application of weights. or with a pulling apparatus that is not in direct contact with the
wall. All vertical forces can be assumed to be gravitational and acting toward the earth unless stated otherwise.
5.2 EXPERIMENTS ON AXIAL RESISTANCE
Experiments on axial resistance must be done on a wall similar to the finished product. The forces can be
exerted either by the application of weights, or with a pulling apparatus that is not m direct contact with the
wall. Any points of contact between the pulling apparatus and the ACS (other than by the anchor point) must be
situated outside a circle of 1.2 meters (3' 11.24") diameter. The axis of the anchor point must be the center of
the circle.
6. REQUIREMENTS
6.1 CORROSION PROTECTION OF ANCHOR POINTS
Under study.
6.2 PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS
6.2.1 The visible parts of rhe protection anchors and belay anchors must satisfy the UJAA standards for
pulline from real rock.
6.2.2 The protection anchors and belay anchors (except those situated at the top of the wall) must not
stick out more than 40 mm (1-5/W') from the wall.
6.2.3 The belay bar. ring or device that secures the climbing rope (if it is not a UIAA approved
carabiner) must have a radius of curvature of at least 6 mm (1/4")
6.3 CLIMBING WALLS OVER 5 METERS IN HEIGHT
6.3.1 PROTECTION ANCHORS CLASSIFIED IN 3.2.1
6.3.1.1 RADIAL RESISTANCE
Anchor points must resist a radial force of 2000 daN (4400 lbs); the force should be applied 5 times for
5 seconds with a 10 second rest between applications of the force Venfy that there is neither failure
nor plastic deformation.
6.3.1.2 AXIAL RESISTANCE
Anchor points have to resist an axial force ot 1500 daN (3300 lbs); the force snould be applied 5 times

failure nor plastic deformation.
6.3.2 BELAY ANCHORS CLASSIFIED IN 3.2 2
6.3.2.1 First, a vertical force of 2000 daN is placed on the belay anchor. The force is applied 5 times
for 5 seconds with a 10 second rest between applications of the force. Verify that there is neither
failure nor plastic deformation
6.3.2.2 A 2000 daN force is then applied to the belay anchor but this time with an angle of 12.5
degrees from the venical. Venfv that there is no failure or plastic deformation.
6.3.3 BELAY STATION CLASSIFIED IN 3.4
The belay station must be capable of resisting each of the following forces individually with neither
failure nor plastic deformation.
6.3.3.1 Each anchor point must have resistance equal or greater than that required in 6.3.1 for an
individual protection anchor.
6.3.3.2 The belay station must be able to support a vertical force of 5000 daN applied a ring or
carabiners at the infenor pan of a force distribution system usually compnsed of chains or webbing.
6.3.4 BELAY BARS CLASSIFIED IN 3.5
The belay bar must be capable of resisting each of the following forces individually and in unison with
neither failure nor plastic deformation.
6.3.4.1 Place vertical forces of 500 daN every 1.5 meters along the length of the belay bar or rail.
These forces should be applied 5 times for 5 seconds with 10 seconds between application of
the forces.
6.3.4.2 A vertical force of 2000 daN should be applied successively to each of the points placed 1.5

PART TWO
1. OBJECTIVES AND APPLICATIONS
The following specifies a standard procedure for the determination of live loads on artificial climbing structures.
Only Inc loads created by utilization of the climbing wall are covered. These live loads should be included with all
other pertinent loads such as but not limited to: Dead Loaa. 1Vind Loads, Seismic Loads. tec...
2. DEFINITIONS
2 1 CAPACITY OF UTILIZATION (n)
This is the maximum number of people that could climb on the wall at one time. The capacity of the utilization
is equal to the number of potential climbing routes that could be used simultaneously.
2.2 ROUTE
A route is climbable surface five (5) feet wide that extends vertically from the base of the wall. The number of
potential routes on a climbing wall shall be determined by the width of the wall at a height of five (5) feet from
its base.
The number of routes on a wall should always be rounded up if there is a fraction of a route. For example. a
climbing tail 32 feet wide at 5 feet elevation has 7 potential routes.
Route boundaries can also be established by:
2.2.1 The end of the wall.
2.2.2 Intersecting with another route.
2.2.3 Above 50 feet it is assumed another route begins.
3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1 GENERAL DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
Climbing walls and the structure that supports them should be desisted based on a rational analysis in
accordance with well-established principles of mechanics. Such analysis shall result in a system which provides
a complete load path capable of transferring all loads and forces from their point of origin to the load resistmg
elements.
The design should meet or exceed all applicable standards as set forth in codes and specificanons by relevant
governing bodies. institutes and associations. These may include but are not limited to:
Uniform Building Code (UBC), Basic Building Code (BBC). Standard Building Code (SBC), Uniform Fire
lCode (UFC). National Fire Code (NFC), American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), Amencan Concrete
Institute (ACU. Amencan Society of Testing Matenals (ASTM). American Plywood Association (APA),
Western Wood Products Association (WWPA), National Forest Products Association (NFPA), Union
Internationale Des Associations D'Alpinism (UTAA)
3.2 DURATION OF LOAD
All loads should be considered of short duration and repeated application.
32.1 LOADS FROM UTILIZATION
Duration of loads from utilization would usually be measured in minutes and it would be unusual for them
to exceed and hour. While individual loads would be short. they could occur almost continually during
heavy use of the climbing wall.
3.2.2 LOADS FROM FALLING CLIMBERS
Duration of loads from falling climbers are usually measured in tenths of a second. There may be loads
applied for more than a second but significant loads (approaching the peak impact force of the climbing
rope) Mill usually last less than one half of a second.
3.3 LOADS FROM UTILIZATION (Pu)
Each climber is considered to exert 200 daN (440 lbs) of force at any point on a route. This force is gravitation
and should be applied vertically. One such force should be exerted on each route as defined by the capacity of
utilization
•
3 4 LOADS FROM FALLING CLIMBERS (Pt)
Each falling climber is assumed to apply an impact force of 2000 daN (4400 lbs). This force must be applied
both vertically and at a 12.5 degree angle from vertical. For calculation purposes a can be assumed that the total
force acting is compnsed of a 2000 daN vertical component plus a honzontal component equal to the horizontal
component of 2000 daN force applied at 12.5 degrees from vertical. It is assumed that this force may be applied
at any point that is or could be used as an anchor point on any route.
3.5 COEFFICIENT OF SLMULTANEITY (Cs)
The coefficient of simultaneity represents the percentage of climbers who could theoretically fall at the same
mstant. Since the forces applied to the structure by a falling climber are very short in duration, it is assumed that
all climbers can not fall at the same instant. A coefficient of simultaneity equal to 0.2 is used to express the
percent (%) of climbers that could fall at the same instant.
3.6 CALCULATION OF LIVE LOADS
The climbing wall and its structure must be designed to support the following live loads in addition to all
other applicable loads.
3.6.1 TOTAL LOAD FROM UTILIZATION (PTu)
The CAPACITY OF UTILIZATION should be multiplied times the LOAD FROM UTILIZATION to
determine the TOTAL LOAD FROM UTILIZATION.
Ptu=n x Pu
3 6.2 TOTAL LOAD FROM FALLING CLIMBERS (PTf)
The COEFFICIENT OF SIMULTANEITY should be multiplied times the CAPACITY OF UTILIZATION
to determine the total NUMBER OF LOADS FROM FALLING CLIMBERS (Nf) to be used in
calculations.
Nf—Cs x n
NOTE: Only whole numbers should be used to represent the number of loads from falline climbers. All
Fractions should be rounded up to the next whole number
The NUMBER OF LOADS FROM FALLING CLIMBERS should be multiplied times the LOAD FROM
A FALLING CLIMBER to determine the TOTAL LOAD FROM FALLING CLIMBERS.
PTf=Nf x Pf
Each load from a falline climber (P1) as determined above should be applied at any point that is or could be
used as an applied at any pomt that is or could be used as an anchor more than the total force from falling
climbers (PTf) as detemuned above need be applied to the structure at one time.

Per your request, we reviewed plans for a climbing wall in order to provide you with more structural
detail pertaining to the construction of the wall and the suitability of the existing structure to support
any additional loads imposed by the proposed climbing wall.
You provided us with construction drawings pertaining to the existing Activity Center by Diemoz
Construction Company, 10 sheets dated 04/04/1994 and structural plans for the existing climbing wall
located in the same Activity Center by Pattillo Associates Engineers, Sheet S1, Project Number
98077, dated 01/13/99. Additionally, you provided us with a scale model and design information by
Eldorado Wall Company, Boulder, Colorado. The proposed structure is to be constructed from 2x6
lumber sheeted with plywood. This proposed climbing wall has a maximum height of approximately
12 feet and is intend for use without ropes or anchors for belaying. We have based our evaluation on
the following:
1. There will not be any impact loads, since the proposed wall is intended for use without
ropes or anchors for belaying.
2. We have calculated the dead load to be 10 psf based on values published in ASCE-7.
We have assumed a uniform live load of 20 psf since this is the minimum live load for
roofs per the 1997 UBC (Occasionally, maintenance personal will access the back side
of the wall to replace or install additional T -nuts). This is also equal to a 200 -pound
climber for each 10 square feet.
3. We have assumed the maximum concentrated load would occur when two climbers
would be simultaneously positioned near a horizontal strut installed to connect the
climbing wall to the exterior wall of the existing Activity Center. We estimated this
scenario would result in a tension force of 500 pounds in the strut.
4. We have assumed the recommendations by Eldorado Wall for framing, sheathing,
gluing and nailing are adequate, based upon their experience with this type of
structure.
5. We have assumed that the same type of sheathing used for the climbing wall (3/4"
T&G OSB or Plywood) will be installed horizontally over the upper row of struts, to
prevent anything, including balls, trash, and people, from getting behind the wall via
this route. We have assumed that this area only will be used by cleaning and
maintenance personal. We have also assumed design loads of 10 psf dead load and
20 psf live load for this area.

As described in the literature provided by Eldorado Wall, the support structure for the climbing wall
consists of horizontal struts between the climbing wall and a horizontal ledger attached to the wall of
the building housing the climbing wall. The ledgers and struts are located six feet and 12 feet above
the floor. Additional struts on an angle are required between the upper ledger and the lip of a roof (a
panel with a slope off of vertical of 45 degrees or more) in the climbing wall. The struts are spaced at
a maximum of 48"O.C. Each strut aligns with an intermediate stud or panel edge. At the panel edge
there are two studs, one from each panel frame, with a single strut to tie the panel edge back to the
ledger. Toenailing should not be used as a structural connection. We recommend that Simpson straps
and ties be used to attach the struts to the ledger and the climbing wall. In some areas it may be
possible nail through the end of the strut and into a climbing wall stud forming a lap joint.
Recommendations for connection of the ledgers and the struts are summarized as follows:
Connection
Recommendation
1.75 x 5.5 Microlam
Ledgers to "ICE
BLOCK" concrete
wall.
The Styrofoam that is a part of the building wall system shall be removed in a
band where the ledger is to be installed. The ledger shall be attached directly
to the concrete using Hilti Kwik Bolt II expansion anchors or equal, 1/2" in
diameter with a minimum embedment of 2 1/4", placed every 24" O.C. and at
the ends of each length of Microlam. Provide and install a standard washer
with each anchor.
2x6 struts to
Microlam Ledger
Struts shall be connected to the Microlam ledger with (2) HGA10 ties per
strut.
2x6 struts to climbing
wall
Struts may be attached to studs with six (6) 16d nails provided that the strut
and the stud align reasonably well to form a tight lap joint.
Struts may also be attached to the climbing wall using LSTA straps with a
minimum length of 15" (LSTA15) and (12) 10d nails.
Longer LSTA straps maybe used with a minimum of (12) 10d nails total.
Longer LSTA straps will either:
1. Have one end of the LSTA strap attached to the strut with (6) 10d
nails; the strap will run from the strut over the panel edge and the
other end of the strap attached to the climbing wall framing with (6)
10d nails. The LSTA strap will be install so that there is no slack in the
strap.
2. Have one end of the LSTA strap attached to the strut with (6) 10d
nails; the strap will run from the strut around an intermediate stud or
studs at a panel edge; the other end of the strap will be attached to
the other side of the same strut with (6) 10d nails. The LSTA strap will
be install so that there is no slack in the strap.
LSTA Straps of various lengths will be needed depending upon the
configuration of the connection.
2x6 sill plate to
concrete floor
The 2x6 plate shall be attached directly to the concrete floor using Hilti Kwik
Bolt II expansion anchors or equal, 1/2" in diameter with a minimum
embedment of 2 1/4", placed every 24" O.C. and at the ends of each length of
2x6 plate.

2002-260.001
LSTA straps may also be used to join the panel frames where just nailing alone will not work.
Based on the member sizes and materials specified in this letter and as indicated on the referenced
plans, our analysis indicates the systems will adequately support the loads as shown above. Attached
are sketches of construction details for attaching the climbing wall to the existing structure.
Wood framing shall be connected in accordance with UBC Table 23 -II -B-1 unless noted otherwise.
Materials shall be as follows:
• Studs
• Sawn lumber for frames and struts
• Lamintated Veneer Lumber (LVL) for ledger
Douglas Fir Larch (North) stud grade
Douglas Fir Larch (North) No. 1/ No. 2
1.9E Trus Joist or equal
Hangar -type connections shall be made with Simpson Strong -Tie connectors and manufacturer -
supplied fasteners.
Steel shall be ASTM A36 Grade 50 for shapes and plates. Anchor bolts shall be ASTM A307.
It is the responsibility of the contractor to provide temporary bracing to stabilize the structure until it is
complete. The walls are not stable until connected in accordance with these plans and the Uniform
Building Code.
In order to evaluate the existing structure, we used a wind load based upon a wind speed of 80 mph,
Exposure B. We assumed that the "Ice Block " concrete walls of the Activities Center were at least
minimally reinforced according to the Uniform Building Code (UBC) in force at the time of
construction. We concluded that the walls of the existing Activities Center are sufficient to bear the
additional loads imposed by the proposed climbing wall.
Although the walls are sufficiently reinforced to carry the loads imposed, there is a chance that some
superficial cracking may appear. Such superficial cracking would most likely occur near any
discontinuities in the wall. Higher stress concentrations occur near discontinuities. Such
discontinuities exist near the base of the columns between the panels of glass block. The plans made
available to us did not contain sufficient detail to allow us to fully analyze the amount and arrangement
of reinforcing in these areas.
Should you have any questions concerning the above, please call me at 970-945-1004.

The attached letter was recently forwarded to my office. The letter was apparently
received by the school shortly after summer break began and languished in an in -basket
until the faculty returned at the end of the summer. The subject of the referenced building
permit is a climbing wall being constructed in the gym. The wall is being constructed as a
teaching medium for students so it is progressing very slowly. As a result, we have
exceeded the normal construction time period that would be involved if a commercial
contractor were on a schedule to complete the wall. The wall still is not complete and has
not been put into use. 1 expect it will take the rest of the school year to complete the wall.
Unfortunately, we were not aware of a time limitation for completion of construction and
your inspection.
I am writing to ask your assistance in determining what steps we can take to rectify the
situation and allow us to maintain a valid building permit for this project. I apologize for
not being aware of the time constraint required by the code. In view of the above
explanation. I request you allow the school a variance from the building code to the
extent necessary to complete the project. It is my understanding that we were only to call
for an inspection from you only at the end of the project due to limited scope of the work
being done. Certainly, we would welcome an inspection of the project from you at any
time and look forward to showing you how we use this project in our program.
Thank you for your assistance.

Dear Permit Holder,
Please refer to your building permit number 26-70, issued //
A routine review of our o n building permits indicates that we have not received a request for an inspection
on this permit since y�(�Syte
Please be advised that building permits expire, per Uniform Building Code, section 106.4.4. "Every permit
issued by the building official under the provisions of this code shall expire by limitation and become null
and void if the building or work authorized by such permit is not commenced within 180 days from the date
of such permit, or if the building or work authorized by such permit is suspended or abandoned at any time
after the work has commenced for a period of 180 days. Before such work can be recommenced, a new
permit shall first be obtained to do so, and the fee therefore shall be one half the amount required for a new
permit for such work, provided no changes have been made or will be made in the original plans and
specifications for such work, and provided further that such suspension or abandonment has not exceeded
one year. In order to renew action on a permit after expiration, the permittee shall pay a new full permit fee."
Please contact this office at your very earliest convenience, in writing, to advise us about the status of your
permitted work.
If you have not responded within thirty days from the receipt of this notice the permit will be closed
and a permanent notation will be placed in the property records at the County Clerk and Recorders
office that indicates that the work permitted per Colorado Revised Statutes 30-28-205 & 210, was not
inspected, is not approved and that the building or area is illegal to occupy and is subject to legal
abatement action.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,

Prior to the start of construction, SGM reviewed the design of the Bouldering Wall and communicated
our recommendations in a letter to you dated October 24, 2002. At the request of Spafford Ackeriy, 011
February 16, 2004, I observed the completed Bouldering Wall.
The construction substantially complies with our design recommendations. Part way through the
project, the students who constructed the wall, switched from nails and substituted deck screws to
facilitate the trial assembly of the irregular shapes and the subsequent disassembly for adjustments
and ultimately the final assembly. They also found using screws substantially reduced noise that
interfered with other school activities held at the same time as construction proceeded.
Although it appears that the screws are likely adequate to secure the 2x6 tension ties at the top of the
wall there is no recognized data for the capacity of the deck screws in single shear. I have
recommended that four (4) 16d nails be added at each end of the 2X6 tension ties at the top of the
wall. The capacity of this connection is well documented in the National Design Specifications (NDS)
published by the American Forest and Paper Association and referenced by the Uniform Building
Code (UBC). The nails must be added in such a manner that no splitting occurs. Mr. Acklerly has
agreed to carry out this corrective action.
It is my opinion the Bouldering Wall as constructed, with the addition of the nails to the tension ties,
will adequately support the loads assumed for the design as stated in the letter of October 24, 2002.
Should you have any que t`¢ns cor)ceThing the above, please call me at 970-945-1004.
