I am just curious if anyone has any suggestions to add to my course. I had planned on a all concrete surface, but let me know if ya'll have any ideas. Thanks Nick

Get some of those fake fire place stones that look and feel real but they are very light. Put in a section of those to mix things up a little. I would also put in a section of loose rock that can be moved around too, so you can change it around when you need to.

Ya, I would like to mix up the terrain a little bit, I have two ends that I need ideas on, maybe the fake logs would go good in one, what about real logs??? Less grip but a lot cheaper and easier to find.......? Thanks for your input.

put some chicken wire over the parts you want to cover with concrete. you dont have to have it thick, maybe a 1/2" or 3/4" and put some rocks in with it to and some different textures. also use a little bit of the smoother concrete to add a spot or 2 for a more challenging up hill. make some different obstacles with the chicken wire to add some different difficulties to it as well. your course is looking good.

Add a cable bridge or stick bridge whats your plans on coveringthe wood what material are you going to use i hauled in 8 ton of rock into my basement course can be changed by flipping a few rocks but you have some good looking climbs.

I originally planned on all quikcrete and some natural rocks, couple climbs are 65 degrees, thinking of a cable bridge, maybe up in my ceiling joist, we will see, will post more pics, thanks Nick
