PE 1643: Intro to Routesetting
Intro to Routesetting is meant for the climber who has significant climbing experience and is interested in the process of creating climbing movement on the wall. Through this course you will learn how to use industry standard tools and practices to create fun, safe, and aesthetic bouldering problems. Attention will be given to safety precautions, both for the setter and for the climber, hold selection and attachment, giving and receiving feedback during forerunning, and editing your work to achieve your goals.
Classwork will take place solely on the bouldering wall, and is likely to be removed directly following class.
While this class provides exposure and experience in the routesetting realm, this class is neither a requirement for, or a guarantee of, future setting work at the wall.
