A group of us started routesetting for the PNW regional championship yesterday. The comp is for the ABS and should be fun to watch and a little extra work for the setting crew.
Normally the setters get to relax day of and watch the climbers on the fruits of our labors. This time we will also be a pit crew - changing out problems between categories. So the problems will start at one grade and get harder as the day goes on and the categories work through them.
The format will move quickly and should give the spectators a better understanding of how routesetting works and what happens, normally before the comp.
Yesterday was a 9a - 7p day and who knows about today, but at least the problems getting easier to forerun.
I'm setting with Molly Beard, Mike Helt (routesetter.com fame) and Bob Dolan.
Good fun for all.
