Describe a Router Setter? They are the artists of Sport Climbing.
- Select the holds to be used.
- Decides the sequence of movements to challenge the climber on the wall.
- Determines the difficulty grade (always be nice to the setter).
- Creates a particular climbing style (technical, powerful, dynamic, endurance-based, coordination-focused, etc.).
- A setter personally tests and refines the route, so it is fair, safe, challenging and enjoyable and suited to the climbers on the wall.
SCA are currently building a new Route Setting Development Framework for beginners to International Setting Teams.
