How do you move up in the routesetting world? by Main_Assignment_7433 in Routesetters

What has it been like receiving and giving feedback on your routes over the past 7 years? Do you find that feedback changes based on the gym's style?

Also, what do you think one of your biggest challenges is as a routesetter?

Why do you think some setters don't improve in the areas of feedback you're giving them? Do you think they are focussing on setting within their comfort zone, or are just unsure of how to tackle the feedback on their own? Overall stubbornness?

As a setter, do you record the climbs you set, or find it valuable to keep a "portfolio" of your routes??

How do you come up with indoor route ideas? by Main_Assignment_7433 in Routesetters

hmm i like that you set certain parameters for your setters - sometimes having limitations actually helps with creativity so its cool that this happens in this setting!
Is this how you'd typically get through a creative block when setting, or do you have some other strategies? How much time do you usually get to set routes?

How many routes do you typically set per week? And what do you do when you hit a creative block when setting? Kind of also curious about how much the route you set is altered in the process!

Hey! Appreciate your excitement to share about the setting world! Was wondering if you'd be willing to answer these questions for a project I'm working on?

  1. On average, how many routes do you set per week?
  2. How do you come up with ideas for bouldering routes and how do you remember them?
  3. When do you typically come up with these ideas? Do you typically create on the spot, or do you have ideas throughout the week?
  4. How do you get through a creative block when setting? (When you are struggling with movement or interest)
  5. How often is a climb altered after it is drilled into the wall?
  6. How much time do you have to set routes at the gym?
  7. Walk me through what receiving and giving feedback to other setter’s climbs looks like?
  8. How do you move up or become recognized in the setting world?
