Home Wall Route Setting 101
Setting up your Rocket Wall is simple—just an impact driver, a friend, and you’re set. Once built, experiment with holds like jugs, crimps, and slopers to train different grip styles. Use fiberglass for the classic gym feel, wood for comfort, and stone for realism. With 197 pre-installed T-nuts, you can easily tweak routes. Start small, adjust angles, and refine your setup—small changes can make a big difference in your climb.
