Route Setter Cory

Cory, the most amazing setter ever, is leaving ARG. Cory is headed to Tucson, AZ to set at Rocks and Ropes.  This is an amazing opportunity to work with one of the best setters in the nation and set at a state of the art bouldering facility. We will miss you Cory!! We wish you the best of luck at your new job.

Resetting SARG

ABS 13 Regional Championship is over!! Thank You for being patient with us while we demolished the South Gym. We have begun to put the routes back up and reset the bouldering walls. We will have all of the routes back up in a few days. Come in and enjoy all of the the new boulder problems.

SARG under Construction!

South Austin Rock Gym is under Route Construction!  This past week we have been setting routes for tomorrow's climbing competition.  We are hosting the USA Climbing's Bouldering Regionals Comp.  Most of the vertical routes have had their starting holds removed therefore roped climbing is not ideal right now.  Immediately after the competition tomorrow we will rebuild the roped routes.

The competition is an onsight format with two rounds, a qualifying round and a finals round.  The competitors will not be able to see the routes before they climb.  This increases the difficulty and adds a bit more pressure.  If you are interested in volunteering as a judge, please come to the volunteer meeting this evening at 7p.  Spectators are welcome and will be absolutely amazed with the ability of these climbers!  Please call 416-9299 or email routesetter@austinrockgym.com with any questions.

Check out the new features. The North Gym Bouldering list has been completely updated. We have also added two boulder problems from the South Gym on the Beta page. Let us know what you think!

Welcome

Welcome to the new ARG Route Setting blog post. The Setting crew and I are extremely excited to have a new platform to reach out to everyone who climbs our routes. We will be posting updates, pictures, videos and general information that has to due with the route setting at ARG. Please feel free to use this site to give us feedback on how we are doing. After all, we set the routes for you. Keep an eye out in the next few days for our setter bio's.
