hey guys so I had the amazing idea of building an outside climbing wall, so I did the first thing anyone would do and spent days watching youtube videos but I noticed there's noting on an exterior wall off there house something like a top rope system. the more I looked the more I couldn't find any or very little information there is one or or two posts but not for an exterior wall on the side of a house climbing wall, the idea of putting bolts into the brickwork (cavity wall) that i have seen doesn't seam safe or reliable, the only other thing i can think of that would work is anchoring off the timber roof construction and feeding a sling under the tiles over the wall under the façade and gutter? how doable is this? what timber would you anchor off? more then one? i know most of this is information i need to gather from looking in the loft, i have done some major construction work before on domestic property's so i know my way around a little, haven't looked yet will go up at some point, am i maybe biting to much off should i stick to a timber frame climbing wall in the back garden instead? just thought it would be cool for the back of the house to be a climbing wall. 


exterior wall or wooden frame in the back garden?

I won't comment on the feasibility of your plans, but there's a Facebook group that has lots of examples and information about home walls that you might find useful: Home Climbing Wall Forum

You will probably get better value from a "Woody" or Moon style board in your garage.
