How to set a route - Routesetting a V6 Boulder Problem

[@staceyingersoll2471]

Great video guys! Love that it’s not just a set and a flash, really shows the time and effort of setting!

[@VerticalSouth]

Thanks Stacey, the struggle is real!

[@ryanscott006]

Loving the series guys, keep em coming. I’d completely watch you set other 4s 5s and 6s. Honestly I don’t think there’s enough videos of people setting boulders so I watch as many as I can to get in the mindset.

[@VerticalSouth]

Awesome! We just got done with a brief break but have videos on deck! Thanks for watching and the kind words

[@robbytheyogi990]

LOVED this series! Another one please!

[@Fartfordaze]

These are great! Thanks for the information!

[@VerticalSouth]

Hey thanks for watching! More to come

[@JustLansky]

Great problem!

[@dragoner243]

Dope route guys!

[@AuxArcClimbing]

Great video. I like that you guys are ballsy enough to use pockets. They're relatively common outside and almost guarantee pulley sprains on people who don't know better. Anyways. Cool set. Enjoyed the video. Looking forward to where you guys go from here.

[@VerticalSouth]

Thanks so much JD! We had a lot of people suggest we go more in depth with some of the grades and our thought processes about different grades and moves so we may revisit some of the more popular grades.

[@ballstriker81]

Would love to see you set higher grades as well. It's been very informative so far. Also, I am just about finished with my home wall and I was wondering what kind of torque setting I should use on my drill for my bolts

[@VerticalSouth]

I call it a quarter to a half turn past tight if that makes any sense. Also two “uga dugas” is another measurement we use. Every wall is different though, our walls are highly textured so they require less torque

[@tuckermiller2097]

Sup guys, if you're going to wait to use pockets in the gym until the v6 grade it might be a good idea to introduce them slower than an aggressive downpulling first move, pulling on pockets is fucking sick but tendon injuries suck. Think about how you can introduce pockets at lower grades with good feet on v4-v5 so as to best prepare your community for harder pocket pulling down the road!

[@VerticalSouth]

Thanks so much! While we only show seven problems in this series there are over 50 in the gym, many of which utilize smaller two or three finger pockets and dishes.

[@VerticalSouth]

We have some super bomb three finger pocket jugs that we like to use on just about everything

[@ignacio_cifuentes_m]

Love your videos 😍😍

[@VerticalSouth]

Thanks so much for watching and the kind words!!!

[@matthewcupelli5901]

Great video. By the way, whoever edits does a great job.

[@VerticalSouth]

Awe man that means a lot to hear. Nick and I actually trade off and edit every other video. We have been in a pattern of editing the videos that we front man for but maybe we will switch it where nick edits mine and I edit nick!

[@VerticalSouth]

Hey Matt! It won’t let me comment on your other comment and I’m not sure why. Rocktown is the bomb definitely be sure to go there, we would also suggest rumbling bald and horse pens 40! Rumbling bald is great but no close by camping that we know of. Hp40 you camp within sight of the boulders, it’s a toss up between there and rock town for my favorite

[@JoeLynchIII]

Great video! My garage wall is 40 degrees overhanging, think moon board. I would like to see some V5-6-7 routes on steep terrain with a focus on hold selection.

[@VerticalSouth]

Thanks so much joe! Unfortunately we do not have a large amount of access to steep climbing other than our kilter board. But we can definitely talk about hold selection more! Thanks for the note and for watching

[@MMAWood]

4:11 pull-ups John!

[@johnbearce5712]

You got me.....

[@adamlamermusic]

Your V5 video before this: NEED TO CLIMB THAT! This video: HOLY SHIT KILL IT WITH FIRE! I'm not about that slab though. :)

[@VerticalSouth]

HAHAHA yeah seriously, I felt the same way while filming Nick set it. It ended up thwarting me by the end. Check us out tomorrow, if you like the v5 I bet youll like the problem we just put in the mini cave.

[@coachgarryclimbing]

Nice video. Any thoughts on how shorter climbers would go on it?

[@VerticalSouth]

Nick is a pretty good judge of smaller climbers as he is about 5’8” I think. As far as 5e’ climbers there is likely a way however it would take a more clever move on the top. However I think they would have a much easier time than me on the start as I am scrunched your at six foot

[@Murdog83]

@@VerticalSouth As a 5'6" setter/climber, I have noticed a complete lack of empathy from 5'8" climbers for the struggles of someone who is only 5'4" (or smaller). Hopefully you guys have someone shorter around to watch climb your problems.

[@lackmanjon]

Would love to see V7 and up

[@VerticalSouth]

Thanks for the note! Be sure to hit the subscribe button if you haven’t had the chance as v7 should launch next wednesday
