You can spend it on anything fitness or health related. Edit: I'm not looking for recommendations, I'm curious what YOU would spend it on.

I did consider paying for a climbing gym session permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] iamericandre@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago Yeah you wear specific shoes and they make different styles of shoes for different types of climbing. I pay for a monthly membership so the 200 could go to that as well ¯_(ツ)_/¯ permalink fedilink source parent [–] choss@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (2 children) Eyyy have you seen my woody on my profile? It was $305 so it doesn't qualify for OP's question, but I feel it's in the same spirit. Plus, I always love seeing more of my people in this corner of the internet - hello!

That thing is sick! For 300 that is awesome, you got a build process or anything? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] choss@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Thanks! :D Like a tutorial? So the plywood is screwed to five wooden spines, and the spines attach to perpendicular ceiling joists using joist hangers, simpson ties, and angle iron from an old bed frame. For the holds, you pretty much get a flat surface using a miter saw, drill a hole with a drill press, shape it with the miter, and then sand to comfortize. A router can also help with shaping if you have one. I wish I had a photo album to go with this but I didn't take too many as I went. Anyway, cheers! :) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] iamericandre@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yo that’s perfect, I’ve been wanting to put something up in my side yard and I’ll definitely try your build. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] choss@lemmy.ml 1 point 2 years ago Oh snap that'd be awesome!
