SF Constant Wall 👀
Our SF setters have set this climb in collaboration with our SF Climbing Team in preparation for upcoming competitions. While it tops out in the 5.13 range, it begins more as a progression, making it a solid climb for lead climbers looking to test the 5.12-5.13 range.

💥A DAY WITH THE SETTERS: SAN FRANCISCO💥
📍Second floor bouldering 1A/2A
This past week our SF setting team had a professional development day where they focused on 4 key elements: efficiency, resource manipulation, fast and decisive decision making, and reimagining the same terrain & resources multiple ways.
It was awesome to see the collective effort and thought they put behind every exercise and iteration.
Enjoy the set and that Bay view 🤩🌁
Empty Those Pockets, Save the Noggin’ 😎
Remember to do a quick pocket check before you hit the wall. Stash away those loose items and give yourself a clear headspace to crack your beta, not your belayer.

Our expert instructors have crafted comprehensive curriculums to guide you through it all, from slack management to belaying like a pro. Ready to conquer the heights? 🌟
