How to make TB2 fit in 9 foot 5 inch garage?
Hi all, been lurking here for a while. I'm deciding between trying to squeeze in a 8x12 TB2 @ 40 degrees versus @ 45 degrees where we'll be able to have a kicker and it will be a simpler build. It will be a fixed angle.
Long story short, garage is 113 inches tall so we can squeeze in the 40 degree with no kickboard (plus, we need to bevel the top frame to make it fit). Or, we can do 45 degrees with a nice kickboard.
- Reasons why we want the 40 deg: we sampled the TB2 at this angle and liked it, it is the most popular angle (most classics / ascents and climbs set for this angle), and it's slightly less steep so "chill" volume days are more reasonable.
- Reasons why we want the 45 deg: we get a kickboard, it's a much easier build since it fits nicely.
Maybe useful stats: Wife climbs V5-7 outdoors, V4-5 on the MB2024. I climb a couple grades higher. On our limited session on the TB2 we climbed V4-7 classics at 40 degrees. She's 5'1" and I'm 5'8" if that matters.
The board is there for fun first (it's the only thing we will climb on besides real rock) and a training tool second.
For those with more homewall and TB2 experience, what would you suggest? The last option is a 8x10 board but we'd really prefer the 12 foot height as there's way more climbs set on it. Also, are there any options to save board length (trim a couple inches off the top/bottom of the board so the footholds sit close to the edge of the board? Thanks.
