  • At the 2021 IFSC Boulder World Cup in Meiringen - the first in 22 months due to the COVID-19 pandemic - five route setters faced multiple challenges: new holds, new athletes and a desire to bring new movements to the table. The goal of simultaneously separating the climbers and creating a spectacular show is never easy, but through collaboration and taking risks, the team attempts to find a balance. This film shows the process of setting for a World Cup, from the initial imagination stage to all the self-doubt, fear and last-minute changes ahead of watching the show that they've choreographed.
    'It's the whole tour that makes a good competition, it's never just one boulder alone.' - Manu Hassler
    Featuring, Manu Hassler, Laurent Laporte, Gen Hirashima, Rémi Samyn and Pierre Broyer.

    These videos are some of my favorite climbing content, I wouldn't be mad if you put them out more often. :)

    The editing and cinematography along with the rare insights of routesetters made this some of the best climbing content I've ever seen imo.
    I really hope these videos generate the positive feedback/monetary return they deserve to keep them coming.

    Awesome video! I wonder how having a female route setter would affect the quality of boulders on the women’s side. Seems to me they would only get better having someone with similar height/reach/flexibility as the competitors to test the boulders

    14:19 this would be my only thought setting for the women's finals honestly... With Janja being such a beast it has to be super difficult making boulders that she wouldnt flash but you still have faith that they are climbable. Of course, not taking anything away from the other female competitors!

      @slapthesloper 3 роки тому +2

      When you have 4/5 minutes to send a boulder you can't just give them standard hard pulling on small holds,etc. because there simply isnt enough time to rest and it's much more likely that everyone breezes through it or everyone gets shut down by a move being too hard in a simple way.
      These dynamic but still technical/complex movements allow for more variance in results, and inevitably create more excitement in the audience which is what inevitably funds comp climbing as a sport
