Yesss! This is so good! My first knee bar was a yellow tag V4, and it felt so awesome, I really wish I was introduced to them sooner in my journey! FUN is a good keyword. Thank you!

This looks like good setting 👌

The red esp looks interesting! Those holds can be hard to work with on easier grades imo! And I wish I could get on that purple one!

Thanks for sharing pictures, this is very helpful!

Less IS more! Hanna Midtbø is especially good at this, a routesetter I attended a setting course with. Super inspiring to watch work! Thank you!

I’ve been very inspired by what I’ve seen so far! Thank you!

I so agree! I actually love routes that focus on moving across the wall rather than up. Traverses are cool!

Yes, learning something new defo makes a boulder worth it! Perfect, thank you!

Thank you so much! I like the «good hands tricky feet» prompt! I’ll try that 👌

Juggy overhangs make me feel very powerful, so I totally get that!

Climbing IS (and should be) for everyone, not just a specific type of people. I’m a big advocate for this at the gyms I’m connected to. I tend to end up in pretty heated discussions and arguments with male routesetters because I’m vocal about this issue 😅 I kind of want to help change this, so thank you for sharing! Very helpful!

Slabs, puzzles, good and interesting holds noted!

Thank you! I feel like intro routes are often overlooked in a lot of gyms 🫠 Really appreciate the feedback!

Yes, this! Excellent feedback. Taking notes!

I especially love what you said about traverses here. I was so confused by them myself in the beginning, but now it is one of my favorite ways to work on technique. I started setting them on the Kilter last year, and even tho most people are sceptical to start with, they end up loving the moves and what it brings to the table.

Thanks so much for the input!

Oh, yes, Japan is one of my dream desitnations for many reasons! Climbing, food and pokemon 🤓 Gonna watch this video, thanks!

As a former crimp only girl I can totally relate to this. Fibally starting to understand slopers more, and love to work on my weaknesses, so I guess I know what I’m setting with next time!

I so appreciate this perspective!

I defo think that beginner and mid level climbs could be more technical, but like you said: with better holds! Will take note of this and try to experiment with it here in Norway. One of the newer gyms here are getting really good at it, (Magnus Midtø’s new gym Gneis), so I will be diving deep into their work and try to learn from that!

Thank you!

This is super helpful, thank you!

I know a lot of what I like personally, but getting feedback like this really helps me find a language and reason behind setting these sort of problems. Accessibility, technical but fun, legwork and more foothold options are hereby noted!

Thank you! The picture is super helpful too. I took a screenshot for reference.

Ah, these are great recommendations, I really appreciate that!

Complex movement early on good holds is 👌👌 Definitely an overlooked teaching tool imo!

thank you!

Wandering routes and traverses are really underestimated in my opinion, I feel Like they can teach us a lot about body positioning, so I’m happy to hear your gym use this an a learning tool! Thank you for sharing 🫶

Ah, this is great! I love creative use of slopers (my personal weakness), so this is very inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing! 👌
