The Insiders

Posted on 14. May, 2010 by B3 in News

The poor weather continues here in Boulder, although today could be okay? Anyways, this weekend is the Battle in the Bubble “With unprecedented media coverage, The Battle in the Bubble is the new model for high-end competition climbing raising the bar to be the highest profile, most watched, American climbing event to date…” and coming in June the 3rd US World Cup in Vail. I have been asked to set again in Vail and it looks to be a great event. Big Up Productions shot some footage with some of the best climbers on the East Coast and perhaps the best routesetter in the country, Chris Danielson. Chris is a good friend and we have spent many long nights together setting. Check out some of his thoughtful work in this interesting new video.

A lot of setters claim to have an understanding of climbing movement, but I’d say Chris is one of the only few who see the importance of variety, flow, and physics in creating a whole package.
