BRISTOL DATES JUST ADDED

We’ve been crazy busy with exciting stuff this year, but we can’t wait to get back to doing what we love best, sharing our love for route setting and diving in to details on our workshops.

We’ve now got Intro+, Advanced and Commercial route setting courses available, in the South with Bristol dates at the awesome @flashpointtemple and in the North with Sheffield dates at the iconic @thefoundryclimbingcentre .

We haven’t even had time to announce the Sheffield dates yet other than to our email subscribers and the Intro+ is already FULL, with Advanced and Commercial courses having just 40% of the tickets remaining, so don’t hang about if you want to join us!

These courses cater from everyone from first-timer to experienced pro. Check out our website to find out more info and to find the course that’s perfect for you!

We’ve been wanting to write about this topic for a long time, but for some reason it seems taboo, the unsaid thing in route setting circles.

But today we dive in. Why we need to talk about speed in route setting and why, whether we like it or not, it will be a factor in our professional work.

Is there a better slab combo than @unit_holds Blade Runners and some @avavolumes Parapetto?

Blade Runners have been used at tons of World Cup rounds for elite level boulders, but they’re also incredible for setting medium level vert and slab. Paired with some of our favourite AVA shapes and it’s a match made in heaven.

@finrogerson talks us through his entry into the Setter Games, a super intense slab that was one of our favourites! Good job Finlay!
