Can Jake set a WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP problem? 

These setting videos are, bar none, the best thing you guys put up. And that's saying something. If you uploaded an hour of Jake and Holly setting I would watch it all day.

really really great video, would have been even cooler if we got someone to try it who had no beta and hadn't done it before so we can see how / if they break the beta

More of jake explaining with his body

More of this! It's amazing to see Jake break these things down - climbing dynamic routes at the Arch always makes me wonder how they force such precise movements, this is a real good insight!

Tbh I love watching Jake. I like his approach and discussions around the whys of setting and climbing. More please!

9 months later and I still come back to this video because it's so thoughtful. More route setting please!

10:26 Jake's explanation of splitting multi-dynos seems to be spot on. There were indeed a few problems in the final rounds (possibly both finals, maybe some semi-final? Can't remember, too many hours of WCH binged on lately...) where the winning tweak was exactly that. I'm pretty sure the pause is even more obvious on one of these other boulders and it might even have been Super Janja showcasing it again.

Saw the reference material for the problem, heard Jakes take on the problem, heard his thoughts in the process of setting, and heard a cool take on actually doing the problem. This video was done excellently and I think his ideas on it came through quite clear.

Huh, that was super interesting. Really enjoyed this change of pace. I'd quite like to see a video like this, and then the other guys come in to climb it and we can watch if he successfully forced the moves he wanted to.

Love this style of vid, the informational stuff you do is really helpful while also being really entertaining. Definitely would not mind more of these videos

This video was great. Loved the whole thought process behind the set and explanations were fine. You've got to film the others trying this.

Love how this combines two of my favorite RU-vid topics: hands on setting and World Cup analysis. Great job explaining both the movement and the setting technique to force it 👍. (Would love to see more of this, btw)

My favourite video ever! I saw the moves first on Jake's install and I almost jizzed when I saw there was a full video! Love these route setting vid it's what got me into the channel. More of this! And more of Jake's silky smooth flow! P.S. Jake explains really well, don't see how it could be put better, I learned some stuff.

well done mate. hearing and watching you deconstruct then reconstruct a puzzle provides some really valuable insight. Stay humble my brother youre a hero

I'd really love to see more videos like this. That really helps understanding the process of routesetting and also improving the thought process of attempting such. Very informative.

I'm not great at reading routes, end up adding unessesary moves or just gettin in a big ol' tangle. Seeing the process of how routes are born through the eyes of a setter is suuuuper helpful, also really interesting. Thanks Boulderbat crew :) Lovin the wisdom filled content!

More route setting videos would be awesome! This was very informative and entertaining, and it would be awesome to set some fun boulders with you guys.

these setting videos are so sick - definitely some of my favourites. Climbing at the arch makes it even more interesting seeing the thought process behind it all!

You did a great job breaking down the movements and explaining the choices you were making. Really interesting video! That was a cool boulder to watch in the finals. I think you did a great job of replicating the movement of it!

MORE OF THESE KINDS OF VIDEOS PLEASE. VERY ENTERTAINING, INFORMATIONAL, INTERESTING. GOOD STUFF!!

that was so dope! please make more setting videos like this!

yewww so sick

i would love to see a series of Jake explaining his setting process and the crew climbing it.

This was really awesome! Super interesting and cool to see the thought process behind the problems.

Just outstanding! Keep it on coming in this style guys, it's really interesting ~~

I know everyone’s already said it but seeing jakes process is top notch! Hearing a boulder broken down to its bear essentials from a pro (joké’s pro in my book) made my thought process on similar blocs change drastically. Seeing y’all climb is lovely don’t get me wrong but hearing your gears turning on a really complex problem is just so engaging for some reason... I love the goofy vibe y’all carry in your videos, it truly makes the experience so enjoyable seeing y’all fuccin about, but you guys do have legit climbing insight to an amateur like me and I LOVE IT! Definitely improved my climbing marginally (from V3 to V4 baby!!😎🤟🏼)

Jake, you make complete sense! But....I would still love a video of body speech! Great advice on controlled movement ♡

Great job Jake. Now I wanna try route-setting! Thanks Omar for filming

jake has words that are good i really enjoyed the setting process and the description of why each part went in and how

Love these route setting vids!!! It’s good to know how route setters think amd experiment and it’s not as easy as people think it is throwing holds on walls

MAKE JAKE SETTING SERIES A SERIES fellow setter geeking out right now, more of this plz

Never been so early, awesome video as always! Greetings from Innsbruck :D Edit: I absolutely love this route setting video I need MOOOOAARRR !!!!!

this was real good to watch. nice one

This makes me want to try setting some routes! Always cool hearing setters explain their thinking 👍

Yeah please more videos like that. It's amazing

He seems like a super nice guy. And really good idea trying to replicate boulders from wc :)

That was great, really enjoyed this video! Would be fun to throw the crew at it after its finished!

Excellent vid. I understood all of the decisions Jake was making and why. Being more confident in explaining things only comes with practice, so twice the reason to make more of these style of videos!

Brill. Really cool video. Nice way to mix up the content and also showcase the constant challenge of original route setting. Big up the Arch staff!

Thanks for the explanation, Jóke

really love the setting vids

Good video thanks. That t shirt is dope by the way

These setting videos are awesome!!! Tho this looks a bit easier than the OG one

Loved it!!!!!

That was really awesome. You should get the guys to climb it and film it!

Definitely the coolest move in the women's championship, and I think you did an awesome job recreating that! Love these videos.

awesome vid. It's just pants that no one else gets to enjoy the route you set

Watching your informative and entertaining videos are perfect for anyone who climbs. From beginner to expert level you guys never cease to find ways of getting valid tips across to viewers! Keep the amazing content coming!

I have like no money, but this summer I want to come visit you guys in london and climb at the Arch so badly. You are all just the funniest and most friendly people.

This is great content. :)

Nice video again guys.

it did all make sense ! great bloc

More routesetting vids! Good vid as always tho :)

Love it!

Great Vid!!

I like all your videos but the setting ones are the best. I think we learn more about climbing when you break, discuss and fix the problem until it's good than when you just solve it

amazing video i loved it

More of these!

is it allowed to use like the tiny holds in the walls for the screws lets say you're doing a really hard static problem?

Sick vid. Not my proudest fap

More content like these!!

I love setting and love Jake

Would be very nice to have an another video with the rest of the crew trying that problem (if it's possible with the Biscuit closing and everything)

yo does someone know where i could buy jakes T-shirt or what the brand is called? :)

Question, what is a bloc? I boulder and I’ve always heard that word, but there is no information on it online.

Our gym had also set a 1-2-3 problem with a ninja kick and slopey holds. Same thing was true there, you basically deadpoint and slowly go to the first hold, latch on and generate swing from there. If you went to fast you couldn't get any purchase off the first hold and would instantly fall off.

Hes t-shirt is so sick. I need one like that wow.

More of routesetting!!

awsome dudes!! by the way, the shirts wents off in a sec, that was amazing ahah papa blesssssss

how do you know/estimate the steepness of the wall/holds? Is it just experience? Whenever I watch the stream I cannot make it out at all because the wall is lit up from multiple angles. Great video. Really interesting, the thought process of a setter.

love

Jake is such a good setter, just saying... Love all the content you guys make (:

i'd love to try that

Love your t-shirt, where’s it from?

Damn, I really want to try this route. It looks a little easier than the actual world cup route because it's on a flat wall but that's fine for me because that means I might be able to complete it, lol.

Dude im diggin that hat... where'd you get it?

i’m pretty short, so even if i can’t do a certain boulder problem i love solving them for my friends

Different but still awesome

Street shoe sends for days!

his so cool! rad dude

There something I don't understand fundamentally about route setting from my experience drilling screws into wood, why is there no stripping or splintering occurring here?

Awesome

hey what brand is jake hat?

nice vid

Such a cool problem, I wouldn't be stiff as a stick I'm sure I would love to try it ;-)

I like it

Wow this is damn intresting :D

1:51 anybody knows what dunk is?

Jake, where did you get that Patagonia hat from??

Jake - YOU're world champ. DING

Just take the blue hold off of the volume

Can someone explain the difference between innsbruck and the world cups I just watched? Are they not the same?

i should be revising ;((

When do you guys redo all the routes in the gym? Do you do it lafter close or really early in the morning? And how long does its usually take?! I know you're open everyday of the week so just wondering when all this secret magical shit happens hahah

I really want to get a hat like Jake’s.. anyone know how/where I can find it??

That's a beautiful problem

*Title:* Can Jake set a world championship problem? *Thumbnail:* Jake sets a world championship route

Yeas

Can we get jake to do a route setting workshop at the arch or wherever???? Will pay dollar for attendance and I’ll buy him a pizza
