    This was a great video! I can see you put a lot of work into editing. I was really interested in the work that went into making boulders accessible to a wide variety of body types. I, personally, am a very large guy (6'9") and some of the boulder starts in my gym are just impossible for me to get into the starting position and/or being very large makes otherwise tricky moves trivial. Of course, it's unreasonable to expect people to set with the very tall person in mind, but I do admit to being envious of the people who are able to do the boulders as the setters intended. Keep up the good work!

    It's very interesting to see the thought process behind routesetting, nice video! If you accept some constructive criticism your audio is pretty bad: at first it was inaudible and then very sibilant. I'd recommend a cheap lap-mic for live audio and a pop filter for the voice-over (and some audio processing). Keep them coming!

    This! Or a de-esser plugin/eq. You can often find the annoying frequency and EQ that out. And using a compressor would help level the sound between voice over and talking to the camera.

Putting the phone out of the stream of air that exists when you talk can prevent the sharp S sounds, and also putting a bit more distance between the phone and your mouth.

    As a new routesetter (started in the last six months) its super cool to watch someone with obvious experience set. I loved how you came into your boulders with a general idea of what you wanted to set for it, as well as how all the boulders had very different climbing styles, which is so vital for climbers. Super well made video as well, and I'd definitely love to see more of you setting!

    Sooooo this is really fascinating both because this is all cool stuff to learn and also that’s literally the gym I go to lol so it’s incredibly interesting to see the thought process for some routes that I’ve actually climbed. As a route setter, obviously having to test boulders, do you have to be a skilled enough climber that you can climb all your routes? Does at least one person on the team have to be able to climb it? Will they adjust what routes you’re supposed to set based on ability? All I know is that testing all afternoon sounds TIRING

Im relatively a new climber around half a year (on and off due to school and exams) and ive only joined one competition which was nationals in Malaysia that i went just to gain experience and have fun.
