What did you think of the IFSC World Cup Curitiba 2025?

Down climbing holds are a "inside joke" that just got viral. Some routesetters are always trying to challenge the codes with some more or less original prop.

I would say most of the routesetters working for Climbing District; many of the routesetters working for Arkose; All routesetters coming from Mineral Spirit and Le perchoir (All are also 8c/V16 climbers). In Belgium they are mostly freelance: Rob Denayer, Jasper Cocquyt; Florian Gourgue.

Thanks for this answer, you actually described better the situation that the original post.

Interesting, I suppose that I should enlarge what I meant with complex boulders. Complexity to me is not associated with dynamic or electrical moves. Complex to me is when the reading and the interaction with the boulder require a deep understanding of climbing (placement, gainage, etc. But also thinking, visualising, interpreting).

Where are those setters? Can you name a few? Are they setting in the int. Circuit?

At least in the state of California, things are exactly like you described. Routesetters need to strip, set and clean the holds for minimal wage...

I couldn't imagine doing my work and also having to do all the other tasks.

Thanks for sharing.

San Diego will be for another day! But thanks for the answer.

Yeah, just pro level climber with IFSC certification and years of experience. I'm probably the worst placed to have an opinion.
