    Our setting

    Our setting philosophy

    • Climbing movement is nuanced and infinite. Our setting team is in constant pursuit of novel sensations that may delight, frustrate, tantalize or thrill, but are always engaging.

    • New problems are set weekly, providing a steady stream of challenging puzzles. We strive to create problems that are fun and accessible for climbers of different ages, sizes and ability-levels.

      On progression

      • Grades are deceptive

        Avoid the temptation to measure your progress as a climber by your progress through the v-scale.

        Grades are a subjective estimate of difficulty: we encourage you to view them as an aid in your quest to find an engaging climb, not a benchmark of your proficiency.

      • Progress is not linear

        Climbing difficulty is not linear, it's exponential and multi-dimensional.

        Being "stuck" in a grade doesn't mean your progress has slowed, it means that you are solving problems with increasingly complex variables.

      • Keep playing

        Our problems are focused on novel movement. If we do our jobs well, the setting evolves along with you, and demands constant acquisition of new skills.

        The v-scale has no upper limit, and isn't intended to be completed.

        The goal isn't to finish the game, the goal is to keep playing.
