You can buy some of those plastic playground rock-wall grips from Home Depot for like $20.
I had a friend who lined a whole wall in his garage with those for bouldering practice. I never had that dedication, but I went to the Upper Limits (in stl by union station) a few times with the rock climbing club in highschool. GIves you great arm and shoulder strength.

Build a frame that spans the entire room then hang the beds inside that. if you do it right its fairly stable and gives you all the floor space. i have pictures and rough autocad plans if you want em.

QFT. Didn't do that last year, but already have one for this year ready to assemble. Sooo much more room.
i had a free standing loft that had "hinged" sotrage underneath that was preayy cool. just used 2x8s and 2x 4s and it was all god. and yes, this is a drunk post.

One year someone built a floor instead of a loft and put the beds under it. It actually worked really well, though the building cost is significantly higher.

I have seen that done before, but they made it too high imo. You couldn't standon the top, or situp underneath really. It was cool, bust it wasted more space than it actually gained methinks.
I already have a structural design, I'm looking more for stuff to add. I'm currently adding an entertainment unit underneath it to house my music server, xbox, reciever and speakers. The rock wall thing is cool, unfortuantely, the design doesn't really lend itself to it.
