The details.

Ever wondered why a problem feels so good, or so awful? In this four-hour clinic Jess Harmon, our head route setter, shows how a problem goes from a bucket of holds to a finished climb.

You will

  • Learn how setters plan movement and grade

  • Choose holds and volumes for a theme

  • Use drills and ladders safely with the crew

  • Set and forerun one problem that stays up for a week

For climbers comfortable on V3 or harder. Ages 16+. Closed-toe shoes required; we provide gloves and eye protection.

10 AM–2 PM

$85, limited to 8
