So what do you do? Climb up the side 2 feet then across 8 feet?

If you took it down, looks like you would have to repair the wall. May be a good opportunity to paint it an uglier color.

The walls match your bike rims.

I painted our kitchen a pastel green for my wife. It's not as green as yours somehow.

My rule is if you like it, doesn't matter.

Damn how many people you have climbing on your walls and how are they anchored to the drywall?

You're good dude. Kids actually are more precautious with danger. Meaning, they're more likely to trip over that damn bicycle in the middle of the foyer than climbing your wall.

Never, ever, let anyone into your house.

Not a lawyer, but I would guess your climbing apparatus would have the same liabilities as a swimming pool.

The bicycle is the least weird thing in there.

Or a weight bench. It’s WAY less dangerous than actual rock climbing.

Maybe I can put a CLIMBERS ONLY sign next to it.

Looks more like a pinocchio figurine, IMO.

You could, but it wouldn't serve much of a purpose in reducing your risk. Best bet is to debadge your walls.

People really do these type of things in their home?

Dude, you have rock climbing pieces screwed into your wall
