[@supernoodles908]

​@@user-vd2gi5xq1eas a setter I think everyone can do resetting the difficulty is being able to consistently set at different grades. Often people can make either really easy or really hard clients but making that in between is often hard for them. Also another thing about setting as the roots that you set have to be safe. This gets more involved when setting lead climbs

[@noodlesthe1st]

@@supernoodles908 Also fun. Ludwigs climb was only 3 moves really and one of the holds was unused. To me the greatest skill of any route setter is making climbs that you want to try for hours each time or re climb over and over again.

[@Broakin]

@@user-vd2gi5xq1e That's more of a testament to Magnus' climbing ability. Routesetting is similar to the engineering quote, "Any idiot can build a bridge that stands, but it takes an engineer to build a bridge that barely stands." It's very easy to make an impossibly hard route, but Magnus is still a beast and closes the threshold of impossible to extremely hard. Also bad setter often create difficulty by implementing reach/distance instead of required technique, making routes much easier for taller people than shorter people.

I know this was for show, but it's also one reason I am hesitant on some holds. There is multiple different type of screws, for multiple different type of applications, and only 2 correct ways to install them: With a torque wrench or torque stick. And I have never seen anyone route get set with either; to be fair, I havent seen that many gyms.

Magnus is one of the best things that has happened to the climbing industry (at least from my personal experience most people who are climbing beginners that i know know magnus and no other climber 😁)

[@lopli12]

Setting up the climbing is such a cool idea. You could make it a whole series where you would compete against other climbers over who would do the more difficult route. Let's say you'd both have the same start and finish and have to set up the route in between, with both of you having the same blocks to use. First, you would have to climb your route, then your opponent would have to do the same, and scoring would be based on the difference in approaches. I would watch it like crazy.

[@aspzx]

[@vinny1952]

This is a really cool video, I've never seen or even considered that people actually have to build the routes in these gyms but its a pretty neat process. Being able to build routes for specific classes truly shows an in-depth understanding of the sport. I use to rock climb with my dad a a really young age and I've always thought I was better at it than the average person because of this, though its probably more attributed to my lightweight and long limbs.
