Ever wonder what it takes to set a championship-level competition?
Join us for an immersive three-day workshop covering every stage of the competition routesetting process—from planning an event and understanding athlete ability levels to creating challenging, creative, and diverse competition rounds.
Working alongside experienced competition setters, 8 attendees will design and set 32 competition boulders across four youth categories, building two complete rounds for each division. On the final day, those boulders will be tested in a simulated youth competition, giving you the opportunity to see your sets in action and learn from the results.
