I'm really struck by not just how much thought and but also how much consideration you put into routesetting. This was a really wholesome and enjoyable video to watch.
Very cool video, was really surprised to see that you have only 622 subscribers. Will be more than happy to come back in few months and see the growth of your channel :) Good luck!
I'm recovering from a torn labrum/surgical repair in my right arm and have been projecting your compression V2 as a left arm only layback. It's been fun - thanks!
As a new routesetter (started in the last six months) its super cool to watch someone with obvious experience set. I loved how you came into your boulders with a general idea of what you wanted to set for it, as well as how all the boulders had very different climbing styles, which is so vital for climbers. Super well made video as well, and I'd definitely love to see more of you setting!
It's always fun to see how route setting, especially when we get to see the entire process (even the not so glamorish parts). Thanks for sharing and letting us follow you on a day of work !
Hey thanks for the comment, psyched on creating more content and pulling back that curtain into the setting world alittle bit more :). Also, big fan of community grading over here.
I know from experience that it takes a lot of extra mental effort to film while you set. Good on you for making these videos happen. I really enjoy them. - Dave
Loved this video. :) so soothing and fun to watch. Your boulders look super fun. Yalls crowd sourced grading system is also awesome! As an aspiring route setter, I'm looking forward to more vids like this one. 😀
Love getting insight on how route setters think. It helps me to understand the intended beta of a climb. Though I am notorious for using my absurdist climbing and completely ignoring the intended beta lol
Love seeing the reasoning and methods to setting, also just watching you guys put new stuff up is always fun. Small request can you post pictures of your routes/boulders on Kaya when you're done plz. Thanks so much look forward to seeing more!
Great video! I feel like youtube has a lot of content from the climbers perspective, but not much content from a route setter's perspective. It was cool to see how everything is organized.
Totally agreed. There's such a curtain drawn over the whole setting industry, I find that very interesting because they are so vital to a gyms success.
Great video ! Subscribed hoping to see more of those ;) Can you explain the part at 4:42 where you put chalk on the hold tho ? I thought the point of brushing holds was to improve grip, by removing chalk from pores of the hold !
Sorry I'm alittle late to reply-- you'd be surprised how slick a freshly washed hold is! Especially if the hold is older💀. Having some chalk (not a lot) definitely helps.
This was a great video! I can see you put a lot of work into editing. I was really interested in the work that went into making boulders accessible to a wide variety of body types. I, personally, am a very large guy (6'9") and some of the boulder starts in my gym are just impossible for me to get into the starting position and/or being very large makes otherwise tricky moves trivial. Of course, it's unreasonable to expect people to set with the very tall person in mind, but I do admit to being envious of the people who are able to do the boulders as the setters intended. Keep up the good work!
Wow, from my modest experience route setting, I agree that 5 bolders is a lot. Very impressive skills and video quality, it's great to learn from. Have you ever considered setting for competitions?
Thanks for watching, sorry about the Audio! I film and record everything with my iPhone as I have no proper filming equipment. I will at least pick up a mic very soon though!
These videos are really interesting and fun to watch! My only critique is that the vertical footage is a little jarring to watch, and are difficult to enjoy on a computer. Other than that, the video was cool, and I learned a lot. Looking forward to more content in the future!
I plan on making a video soon talking about this subject-- but to quickly answer your question, no. It can really depend on what your team is looking for though.
100%. Certain walls here are so curved there's just no hope, other walls are just curved enough that if you get a macro to sit flat you thank the gods. Thankfully not all of our walls are curved :').
Super cool video! I just arrived at this new gym. I’ve been climbing for a little over a year. I can climb around V4 leaning into V5. They said they need a new temp routsetter, I don’t know if I’m up for the task. I would love to do it and it’s a fairly small local gym. Any advice?
Sooooo this is really fascinating both because this is all cool stuff to learn and also that’s literally the gym I go to lol so it’s incredibly interesting to see the thought process for some routes that I’ve actually climbed. As a route setter, obviously having to test boulders, do you have to be a skilled enough climber that you can climb all your routes? Does at least one person on the team have to be able to climb it? Will they adjust what routes you’re supposed to set based on ability? All I know is that testing all afternoon sounds TIRING
I have a question and i know it might seem dumb but how do you get into route setting. Im relatively a new climber around half a year (on and off due to school and exams) and ive only joined one competition which was nationals in Malaysia that i went just to gain experience and have fun. But im really interested in the sport and route setting. So my question is how did you start setting?
Definitely not a dumb question. In fact it’s probably one of my most commonly asked questions. I actually plan on making a How I got into routesetting / my tips to get into routesetting video very soon so stay tuned for that I should be able to answer your questions in a lot more detail than on here!
I'm like the idea of starting with a focus hold. The gym I help set at has limited feature holds, so I've been having a good time building aesthetic routes using blockers. Looking forward to the day we have big ol honkin nearly-volume holds!

I'm really struck by not just how much thought and but also how much consideration you put into routesetting. This was a really wholesome and enjoyable video to watch.
I think it would be really cool if you made a video about how you became a routesetter.
I think I'm not alone in being envious of your job!
Would love to do this!
Great video, keep it up
Excellent video, thank you for sharing! (good music choice too)
Great video 👏👏👏
Very cool video, was really surprised to see that you have only 622 subscribers. Will be more than happy to come back in few months and see the growth of your channel :) Good luck!
This was interesting, thanks for sharing!
Dang your channel is blowing up. Really enjoy this content.
This is my new favorite route setting video. So well done, thanks for sharing!
Oooh I love the consensus board thingy! Super nice insight too, really makes one to want to go into the profession ahah!
Great shots really got angles
great video!
in my experience there's a lack of routesetting content, so having high quality content from you is awesome!
keep up the great work
unexpected rave session at 3:20 got me! :D but also super nice to see how the work is done and sometimes disturbed. keep it up! :)
:D Thanks!!
Good job Brittany!
Now I want to cruise up to Golden to try these problems!
Love when the jump roper was going. Keep that fun in your videos. And the end 😂
Would love to see your journey of how you became a route setter
I'm recovering from a torn labrum/surgical repair in my right arm and have been projecting your compression V2 as a left arm only layback. It's been fun - thanks!
Thats amazing. Not the torn labrum though, sorry to hear about that. Hope recovery is going well!

Of course and thank you for watching!!
Love this video! Fun to see and hear your thoughts behind setting routes :)
I love these videos!
this daly in the life of a routesetter content is great!! the community grading is a really cool idea that ive never seen before
Hey thanks for the comment, psyched on creating more content and pulling back that curtain into the setting world alittle bit more :). Also, big fan of community grading over here.
Do more of these !
Absolutely!
I know from experience that it takes a lot of extra mental effort to film while you set. Good on you for making these videos happen. I really enjoy them.

Man, you were the right choice for asking to set! Still crankin out bangers!
You da best Dakota. Thanks!!

Thanks a lot! Good luck in your setting journey :D
Super interesting video! I'm exited to see whats coming in the future :D
very cool, thanks for sharing
great editing! loved the video
Great looking gym. Thanks for sharing , very informative!
Nothing but respect for setters. I love seeing behind the scenes of setting. Keep it up!
super cool insight. i love the setting at movement - awesome vid :)
Cool to see our Movement Gyms on a cool channel like yours, see you around! will try to mention I'm among your first 1000 subs :)
This is cool & the editing is chill, well done
Love getting insight on how route setters think. It helps me to understand the intended beta of a climb. Though I am notorious for using my absurdist climbing and completely ignoring the intended beta lol
Haha to each their own! I would actually love to make a video on beta reading and setters intention though!
Didn’t know routesetters had to do so much work!!! Love the video :) also btw u look like Anya Taylor-Joy!
Love seeing the reasoning and methods to setting, also just watching you guys put new stuff up is always fun. Small request can you post pictures of your routes/boulders on Kaya when you're done plz. Thanks so much look forward to seeing more!
Yes! I will make an effort to do this now. Thanks for your feedback and support =)

That was really interesting
Wow, from my modest experience route setting, I agree that 5 bolders is a lot. Very impressive skills and video quality, it's great to learn from. Have you ever considered setting for competitions?
Yes! I set for competitions as frequently as I can.
Super interesting. Would like to see more. Some of the audio was a bit lower and harder to hear. Just a small note, but loved the video!
Thanks for watching, sorry about the Audio! I film and record everything with my iPhone as I have no proper filming equipment. I will at least pick up a mic very soon though!
These videos are really interesting and fun to watch! My only critique is that the vertical footage is a little jarring to watch, and are difficult to enjoy on a computer. Other than that, the video was cool, and I learned a lot. Looking forward to more content in the future!
What's the difference between 'Plastic' and 'Kaya' is it just the user interface or is it the name for the admin side of Kaya?
You got it! Plastic and Kaya are basically one in the same, like you said Plastic is just the admin side of Kaya.
Do you have to able to climb really high grades like V10 to be a rousetter?
I plan on making a video soon talking about this subject-- but to quickly answer your question, no. It can really depend on what your team is looking for though.
8:04 do you find that having curved walls like that limit your use of larger holds/macros?
100%. Certain walls here are so curved there's just no hope, other walls are just curved enough that if you get a macro to sit flat you thank the gods. Thankfully not all of our walls are curved :').

That's crazy my gym only does a few routes a week so it's not this much work either.
I'm like the idea of starting with a focus hold. The gym I help set at has limited feature holds, so I've been having a good time building aesthetic routes using blockers. Looking forward to the day we have big ol honkin nearly-volume holds!
Do you guys set grades that you can't send consistently?
Wait is this at inner peaks? It looks so familiar but I haven’t been there in a little while haha
This is at Movement Golden in Colorado. But I used to frequent Inner Peaks when I lived in NC! Cool gym.
my dream job
sssssssssss
