We’re super stoked to announce our next route setting clinic on March 9th, led by Asylum founder Jordan Romig, LA-based route setter Zac Stamper 🐐 and special guest Felipe Ho. Felipe is the 16x winner of the Brazilian Climbing Championships and a professional route setter from São Paulo.

In this clinic, we'll delve into the nuances of competition setting versus commercial setting, highlighting the differences in demands and intensity. In competition setting, each climb serves as a challenge, testing climbers' skills with complex movements and precise coordination. We'll explore the RIC scale—Risk, Intensity, and Complexity—as a tool for grading competition climbs, allowing setters to map difficulty numerically and tailor climbs to challenge climbers effectively.

Participants will have the opportunity to set two boulders each for the red point round, followed by a finals round boulder to practice and refine their skills. Setting targeted grades and defining the questions climbers will face are key components, along with peer review and forerunning for feedback.

Clinic will be limited to 10 participants.

Cost: $200 | $120 for Asylum members and Alumni.

Safety equipment, tools, and lunch are included.

We're partnering with Climate Fresk to offer this unique climate education workshop to the San Diego climbing community! Tickets are free to Asylum members (see the front desk for a code) and $5 to nonmembers.  After the workshop, nonmembers are invited to check out the gym and will receive a 50% discount on a day pass.  Come for the climate education, stay for the climbing!

What is Climate Fresk?
Climate Fresks are 3-hour collaborative workshops and fun ways to learn about climate change. Participants work together to arrange 42 cards illustrating concepts from the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) reports. The workshops raise awareness about climate change in a playful and collaborative way.

Why should you participate?
In the face of this emergency, everyone must be able to understand climate change, make sense of the information, form an opinion, accept the necessary changes for the preservation of life on the planet, and act quickly!  

How the workshop works
Participants gather around a table in teams of 4 to 7 people. Together, they discover cards representing the different components of climate change and work together to connect them to highlight links between cause and effect. A Fresker supervises one or more teams and guides them using a collective intelligence approach. The Fresker then facilitates an exchange to debrief and explore solutions.

A workshop accessible to everyone
Climate Fresk workshops are suitable for all audiences and all levels of understanding. They are appropriate for novices as well as the more aware who wish to deepen their knowledge on climate issues.
