October Newsletter
What’s new at Rock Haven!
In the interests of providing continuing education to the Rock Haven team, in September our routesetters attended the Setter Summit in Salt Lake City, UT. The Summit is a two-day clinic on routesetting co-hosted by The Front Climbing Gym and the Climbing Wall Association, and led by a USA Climbing Level 5 routesetter. 

Our team had the opportunity to network with setters from all over the US and Canada, learn about recent innovations in commercial setting, and visit several gyms and a hold pouring company in SLC, which is an important climbing hub in the US and the world. We’re excited to see some of the ideas they’ve brought back!
