So, I got a bit bored at the gym climbing routes last month. Just doing the same handful of routes over and over got tiring so I decided to start setting routes. So far I have set 4 routes and have enjoyed the process WAY more than I thought I would. I am still a noOb, but I learned a lot on my first few routes and have my systems and tools a bit more dialed. I am really looking forward to spending more time setting in the future and leaning much much more about movement, style, aesthetics, hold types/shapes, grades...... and so much more.
Also, It has turned out to be a great way to lose yourself in the moment and quite relaxing. Who knew?!
I also started to read this blog;
http://routecrafting.blogspot.com/ it seems to be a bit focused on comp setting, but there is SO much good info in it to learn from. "Happy setting"
We should set together sometime. It's fun isn't it??? I'm always surprised how much I enjoy it when I come back.
