This one-day course is a practical introduction to setting your own boulder problems! You’ll learn how to plan, set, test, and refine routes with guidance from one of our experienced route setters. This course focuses on creating fun and inclusive climbs for a wide range of abilities in a welcoming and supportive environment.

Perfect for climbers interested in route setting and developing new skills, or anyone curious about how boulder problems are built behind the scenes.
