Routesetting Training Manual – First Edition Release (Discounted for Feedback!)
🎯 Goal:
To provide better information and more standardized training so gyms across the country can align on best practices in routesetting—raising the quality, safety, and sustainability of our industry.
What’s inside (3 Core Pillars):
🔹 Foundations – Building Safe & Consistent Teams
Covers the essential systems every setter needs: safety protocols, PPE, stripping & washing holds, wall prep, and forerunning checklists. Perfect for training new setters and creating consistent standards across your gym.
🔹 Craft & Design – From Holds to Experiences
Goes beyond mechanics into the art of routesetting: design principles (balance, flow, and readability), integrating movement libraries, teaching skills through routes, and setting with intention. A framework for creating climbs that inspire and educate, not just fill space.
🔹 Professional Practices – Growing People & Culture
Addresses the human side of setting: setter care and wellness, workload management, leadership pathways, and feedback systems. Helps head setters build sustainable teams, reduce burnout, and align routesetting with coaching and member retention.
Why this matters:
This manual isn’t just about “how to put holds on the wall.” It’s about giving gyms a clear, standardized frameworkto:
✅ Onboard new setters faster
✅ Improve safety and reduce liability
✅ Create consistent, teachable movement for climbers
✅ Support setter longevity and reduce turnover
✅ Strengthen alignment between setting, coaching, and member experience
