Route Setting: Cool Routes, More Fun

Route Setting Combines Passion, Creativity, and Responsibility

In recent years, climbing and bouldering have evolved from minor niche sports with a dirtbag image to a genuine mass phenomenon. Multiple climbing and bouldering gyms have sprung up in big cities in particular. The small, dusty training rooms have turned into professional sports facilities with unique designs and concepts. Climbing has developed into a mass sport.

 

The people who attend the gyms want to have fun, train, switch off from everyday life, and be challenged by new and interesting problems. Varied, creative climbing routes and bouldering problems are the main product that gyms offer people. After all, the quality of the set lines ultimately plays a major role in determining whether they enjoy their time in the gym and keep coming back. This makes route setting one of the key pillars in a gym’s success.

Route setting with lifting platforms

Anyone with the opportunity to use a lifting platform can count themselves extremely lucky. Large and, above all, steep climbing walls can be quickly and conveniently set from the platform basket. But personal fall protection equipment also has to be used to prevent people from falling if catapulted or whipped out of the basket.

Depending on the platform, such equipment can be a restraint system comprising a restraint harness and an adjustable lanyard or a fall arrest system comprising a full body harnesses and a lanyard with a shock absorber.
