For the last 18 years Brian has been turning his h For the last 18 years Brian has been turning his home in South Beloit, IL, into a climbing gym. His wife took some convincing. He has a meticulously-crafted 17ft wall in the foyer, and in the garage a Treadwall, Tension board, campus board, and spraywall.

"Dream big. Find a place where you can make several upward movements. It better mimics outside climbing." -Brian

Homewall owner Matt Kenagy struggled to balance tr Homewall owner Matt Kenagy struggled to balance training with fatherhood, at least until he built this beauty in his shed in Bellingham, WA. Now the struggle is to set routes for himself and his 5-year-old. Good thing there’s a hold in almost very t-nut.

Matt's words of wisdom to aspiring homewallers:
"Just go for it. It won’t be perfect the first time around, but half the fun is being able to change things up when you get inspired."
