Questions

Route setting FAQ

How often should a climbing wall be reset?

It depends on how busy the wall is and who climbs on it. Busy gyms usually reset in rotation, one section at a time, so there's always something new. Quieter school and community walls need it less often. We'll suggest a schedule that suits your wall.

Do you set for competitions?

Yes. Our team sets state and national-level competitions, with grades through to 30+/V10+.

Where do you set?

We're based in Melbourne and set across Australia, working from ropes, ladders and boom lifts so we can reach any height.
