I've got only one angle to my wall- 33 degrees, which makes true ARCing pretty tough for me. I end up shaking out at the jugs at the top of the wall a lot and still end up getting pumped after about 8 minutes. Any thoughts on how to do an ARC workout on it? I was thinking of something like 10 min on/2 min rest, repeat three times. Does that make any sense from a physiological standpoint?

I wish I could ARC on a wall that angle. I built a vertical wall and a 15 degree wall for ARCing. If you can't build a new section, I suppose you could build a free standing kick plate and place it in a position that would put your angle closer to 5 or 10 degrees. You could also put a piece of tape on the floor that you could put your toes on that would decrease your angle while you shake out. Hope that makes sense...

ARC-ing on steep walls is definitely possible, but as Chris suggests, you should get creative to find ways to make the wall less steep in some regions. Are you able to panel the arete of your 33 degree wall? Our home wall is mostly 33 degrees or steeper, but it is set up as a whole room, so there are corners and 3d spots that make it less steep. IF you can put footholds off to the side you can make it less steep. Standing with your feet on a restricted area of the floor is a great idea too.
I will warm up at the Dojo by walking around the room and grabbing holds as though I am climbing, but will keep my feet on the floor, just to practice positioning but with far, far less effort in my hands.

Both of the above suggestions are good, as well as your first idea of splitting up the session. If you were to split it up I would try to keep the rest as short as possible, even if that means getting off the wall more often. I would aim for a 10-second shake, stretch then back on. You want to keep the work as even as possible during ARC, 10-on 2-off is too much variability in the load.

Might also be worth setting a crappy kneebar or heel hook that is good enough to recover, but not good enough to get TOO much back
