00:01.200 --> 00:02.767
(electronic dinging)
(electronic buzzing)

00:02.767 --> 00:04.267
- When we're climbing outside.

00:08.333 --> 00:11.600
We are taking in
all of the stimulus

00:13.633 --> 00:15.167
little dimples in the rock

00:16.600 --> 00:19.800
and that feeling of
exposure and being peaceful.

00:19.800 --> 00:22.233
(soft peaceful music)

00:22.233 --> 00:24.600
That's where a lot of the
passion for setting comes from.

00:24.600 --> 00:26.967
Wanting to communicate
a feeling to people.

00:28.033 --> 00:29.500
Make them feel a certain way.

00:33.467 --> 00:36.200
(roller rubbing)

00:42.000 --> 00:44.933
(electronic buzzing)

00:44.933 --> 00:47.800
(drill resonating)

00:55.800 --> 00:58.767
- Bouldering is
climbing without ropes

00:58.767 --> 00:59.867
closely to the ground.

01:08.333 --> 01:10.767
As bouldering gets harder,
you need to work your body

01:10.767 --> 01:13.467
in a way that you might
not have done before.

01:21.633 --> 01:23.500
- Route setting isn't just

01:23.500 --> 01:25.767
putting pieces of
plastic on the wall.

01:29.367 --> 01:32.467
It's how those pieces
relate to one another

01:32.467 --> 01:35.333
to create a certain movement.

01:41.800 --> 01:44.800
Sometime I pick shapes
from the hold bins

01:44.800 --> 01:46.467
and I'm inspired
by those shapes,

01:46.467 --> 01:50.133
sometimes there's a specific
sequence or movement

01:50.133 --> 01:51.333
I wanna pursue.

01:53.733 --> 01:57.467
It feels deeply personal
in that you're creating it

01:57.467 --> 02:00.367
with your hands and then you're
climbing it with your body.

02:09.367 --> 02:13.567
Route setting is a way to share

02:13.567 --> 02:17.233
my personal climbing
expression with other people.

02:19.333 --> 02:24.333
- We work as a team, we have
passion for this process.

02:25.633 --> 02:26.967
Being able to communicate
our own passions

02:26.967 --> 02:29.367
is the heart of route setting.

02:29.367 --> 02:32.633
(soft inspiring music)
