Overview

The BMC Routesetting for Coaching workshop is for anyone routesetting or wishing to route set at climbing walls. Whether a teacher who might work alone and wants to set some problems to teach a specific technique, or staff at a climbing wall teaching the NICAS scheme, anyone who does some coaching and wants to improve their routesetting ability in developing technical climbing problems will benefit from the workshop. We will complete the course on the bouldering wall only and will not set climbs on ropes.
