Setting Map:
How we set our routes
We have areas that are easier for beginners as well as areas that are more challenging for experienced climbers.
Since January 2022, we’ve been setting by area, instead of by coloured circuit. We have split the wall into 8 individual sections as seen above, and we will reset a different one each week.
Each area due for reset is stripped on a Thursday morning and reset that same day with problems in every circuit/ grade. This means we provide you with approximately 40 new blocs each week with routes ranging from VB to V8+.
Route setting frequency
You’ll find new routes every week, including a re-set comp wall every month.
We endeavour to route set on weekdays from 9.30am until 4.30pm in order to minimise any impact to our customers, details are shown on the route setting calendar posted on our website and social media platforms at the beginning of every month, plus we have a route setting black board in the centre.
Problem Grading
The route setter suggests the initial grade and then we give it the Red Spider test (a good excuse to make sure we get to climb every new route).
Around the centre, you’ll find a notebook for your feedback. At the end of a short trial period, we’ll review your feedback and adjust the grades accordingly.
