I understand.
That is some severe over-engineering in my opinion. No point in making the climbing wall10 times stronger than the structure it is attached to.
And think of all that extra weight!

I have built multiple home climbing walls. Lag bolts (properly installed) are fine for attaching the main structure. Standard timber screws are fine for attaching the ply.
Just use lots of them. The plywood spreads out the force. It also helps if your vertical walls support the ceiling sections.
The individual holds are attached with t-nuts and M10 (3/8 inch) socket head cap screws and bolts. They WILL NOT pull through 3/4" (19mm) ply.
What do you mean by "self tap the metal anchors"?

I paid over $800 on a new one for the gf.
She made an awesome mod. A small tube with a hand pump/bulb that makes a siphon and easily drains the drip tray. It goes through a hole in the tray and tucks neatly behind the machine and then into the sink.
