I'm building an indoor climbing wall out of 3/4" plywood in a finished

My joint finishing options a
1) Do nothing, simply risk splinters (it's decent grade plywood)
2) Tape/mud as you would with drywall (I doubt it would hold up)
3) Leave a 1/8" gap and use some T-molding between sheets (not exactly
the look I'm going for).

Any other ideas? *Besides NOT building a climbing wall, that is? *

The surest way other than a moulding would be to chamfer the edges
slightly before putting it up. *Clean up any remaining roughness and
sand enough to be smooth edge. *As another said, a good coat of an
enamel paint will then help prevent edges getting started altho one

Right. *Nice coarse sand in the paint, and maybe some glass chips, to
toughen up people and let them know what real rock feels like. *
