“I like the DT78 - The dual texture creates a directional sloper that makes it easy to create moves. The mirror surface is flat, so it is possible to jib, which CAN be useful in competitive environments.”
“形状が気に入っています。デュアルテクスチャーによって向きのあるスローパーに仕上がっており、ムーブを作りやすい。ミラー面はフラットでジビンクがしやすく、テクスチャーバックが無いのでジビングが可能で競技環境でも役立つと思われます。”

OUR THOUGHTS, IDEAS & RAMBLINGS ON ALL THINGS CLIMBING

FORM VS FUNCTION -
THE PLACE OF AESTHETICS IN ROUTESETTING
By Jack Masel
In 2024 I continue to hear setters confidently pronounce something akin to 'We don't compromise on movement.' when attempting to justify the seemingly random scatter of holds and volumes across the walls at their gym. I hear this even at gyms that set with such a high density, that holds surely must go on the wall where they can fit just as often as they go where would theoretically make the most sense and then again, in gyms that bolt holds on more commonly than they use screws! I'm certain they must not be aware of how contradictory their statement is.

DEBATE ON DENSITY: HOW MANY BOULDERS DO YOU ACTUALLY NEED IN YOUR GYM AT ANY ONE TIME?
By Jack Masel
During a recent interstate work trip, I visited multiple different gyms and made an interesting observation. Across gyms of various sizes, from small community focused facilities to large commercial outfits that they all had one thing in common. The number of boulders on their walls.
How often gym's chose to reset, how many boulders they set per day or per week, the number of setters on their crews or on set days and how they chose to present their boulders varied quite substantially gym to gym. However, time and time again I was told by centre management 'We try to have 100 boulders on the wall'. I was curious – how did every gym across the state come to this same conclusion but still have so much variance in how they chose to execute it?
