This course is for the individual or group of individuals who are curious about route setting. The workshop covers all the basics needed for those looking to get into the industry. Allowing the participants to work safely and efficiently, develop their understanding of the tools involved and give them the foundations needed for commercial route setting.

Taking a step back from the boulder and going into the details that give the boulders we set character and originality. This course allows the route setters the time and environment to develop their ability to create forced inclusive movement. We focus throughout the course on developing through group setting and discussion our understanding of the boulders we set and what tools we can use to develop further the intention of the boulder.

The sector management course is about organising the days work to deliver a clear and easily identifiable product. It helps chief setters clearly define certain constraints to stimulate the teams creativity and to develop their ability to adapt their ideas. It focusses on issues like the aesthetic argument, “what is good design?”, customer navigation and identification, superimposing boulders, movement types and their partners, negative space and its importance and balancing shapes and forms in an interactive environment.

This workshop focuses changing the pre dispositions we have concerning competition bouldering. It centres around seeing a round as a series of questions we ask of athletes within a round or competition environment. It’s about changing our ideas around what we think should be in a round and the tools we use to set within a competition environment.

It focuses on allowing the setters to set a wide variety of problems within a wide variety of styles. Through the peer lead discussion we share, change and adapt them to fit into different genders, age groups and order of boulders within a round.

This course is aimed at developing the groups creativity during the setting process. It's about getting back to curiosity and playing with new ideas and developing upon old ones. The workshop challenges the setters to create boulders based around themes the group develops during the initial discussion. Working primarily in pairs during the entire process teams will never test or fore run the boulder they set.

Finding the balance between the intention and the intensity required, interpretation of ideas, communication within the creative environment and the ability to test, tweak and create a functional boulder.

This course focuses on developing a group of athletes and their ability to understand movement, giving them the tools and skills necessary to perform at high level. Working with a team of your local setters we create two tailored simulation rounds allowing us to challenge the athletes within a competition setting.
Working closely with the coaches and athletes we then return to these problems changing the boulders with the athlete input to develop their understanding of the movement pathways and the complex nature of whats being asked of them by the route setters.
