route setting

Route setting in climbing is the process of designing and arranging climbing problems on a route or wall. Setters choose holds, their placement, and the sequence to create specific challenges that test different skills such as strength, balance, and problem-solving. The goal is to craft routes that are engaging, safe, and appropriate for various difficulty levels. Good route setting considers flow, aesthetics, and variety, providing climbers with a dynamic and rewarding experience while ensuring safety and accessibility.
