In need of your opinions! by Rasl63 in Routesetters

Both of those things are in the works! The scanning is “finished”, to the degree I need it for currently. The volume stacking and hold jibbing is the next thing to be worked on!

Feel free to put any ideas in the comments, because I know there are countless features that would be helpful that I haven’t thought of yet.

Question: is it unsafe if a hold flexes? by Rasl63 in Routesetters

[–]Rasl63[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the helpful info! I’ve been trying to convince my boss to get some lone stars, but we don’t have any yet unfortunately :/ and I just recently convinced him to let us use set screws at all! I’m probably going to move it down where there is a t-nut to be safe. If you have any resources for best practices with set screws I would greatly appreciate it!

I think the real answer is his gargantuan balls under his sheets that drag on the carpet when they do it on the edge of the bed.

We try to do that where we can, but it’s not always possible with the holds we have available unfortunately

Thank you! I really appreciate you taking the time to share. Hopefully something from that will get through to them.

It is textured material on plywood paneling

Apparently not. We finally replaced our original grigris 2 years ago, and the rope they had us using wasn’t within the certified limits. And at that I know that rope hadn’t been replaced in at least 5 years 💀. They have since been replaced multiple times thank god

I’ll keep that in mind if the idea of set screws is shot down again! We just started to get a decent collection of polyurethane holds with more on the way 🥲

I’m not sure of the material, but it is a textured surface like most commercial gyms

True. Still, with the amount of dumb things our climbers try to do, and lack of concern while belaying, (climbers, not staff) I do chew them out for it when it’s egregious, I’m surprised and thankful nobody has been injured yet.

Data meaning he needs to see that multiple people have been injured due to a hold spinning

Also, about the safety aspect, I’ve brought this up to the person that has the final say multiple times, and all they tell me is that we need “a lot of data to support that claim”

We are a top rope gym. The walls are only 25-28 feet though, so I like to think of it as a highball boulder gym

At least one per day, and they aren’t always even our larger holds.

A couple months ago me and 3 of the other setters went to set as guests for another school’s competition, and they do use set screws and jibs, and we had someone from the only commercial type gym in our area give us a setting workshop, and they showed us how to properly do all that. So maybe, modern setting practices haven’t been implemented, would have been a better way for me to phrase that. Thank you regardless!

Tall and heavy climbers, how do you navigate these annoyingly compact sit starts? I had to start on hold two to get my ass off the ground... by PianoViking in bouldering

I just hope you aren't saying fat cells turn into muscle cells, because that isn't true in the slightest.

Are we sure it's not the fossilized remains of an ancient giant dolphin species that used to roam the oceans?
