• According to AP News, droughts and overharvesting in Morocco are putting ecological strain on argan forests, which could threaten long-term production.

Climbing is more than just scaling walls; it is a blend of strategy, strength, and creativity. At the heart of every climbing session is route setting—the art of designing climbing paths with holds, grips, and movement challenges. The impact of route setting goes far beyond the physical wall; it influences skill development, safety, and the overall experience of climbers.

What is Route Setting?

Route setting is the deliberate placement of holds on a climbing wall to create specific movement patterns. Each route, whether for bouldering or sport climbing, is designed to test strength, flexibility, balance, and problem-solving. A good route setter understands how to balance difficulty with accessibility, ensuring climbers feel challenged yet motivated.
