facility, making your setters an essential staff
component. Our setting modules begin with the
theory behind creating challenging, fun, and
instructional routes. We progress to hands-on
instruction in efficient setting techniques using
available equipment. Lastly we show your staff how
to create a system for route turnover and grade
distribution designed to meet the needs of your
