A 6-week online guided course Launching in August for routesetters who want to create more visually intentional lines.

Is this for you?

This course is for routesetters who:

✓ Have been setting for 1+ years

✓ Feel like their setting is becoming repetitive

✓ Want to create climbs that stand out visually

✓ Want to better understand why some climbs attract climbers and others don't

By the end of the course you'll have:

• A framework for analysing visual design

• Your own personal design principles

• A visual prompt toolkit for future setting

• Practical experience applying new concepts

• Feedback from other setters

• A certificate of completion

Investment

£300.

Learn from experienced routesetters

The course combines recorded content, live discussions and practical exercises led by experienced commercial and competition routesetters.

Example course task

Design and set a boulder that intentionally uses visual design, flow and disruption.

You'll upload photos and a short reflection explaining:

• What visual choices you made

• What experience you wanted climbers to have

• What worked

• What didn't

Other setters on the course will review your climb and provide feedback before you reflect on the final outcome.
