We’re growing our routesetting team! 🧗
We’re looking for two new routesetters to join us at Indirock. You don’t need years of commercial setting experience to apply, but we are looking for people who are keen to develop their skills and contribute to the way we set at Indirock.
We know routesetting teams across the climbing industry don’t always reflect the diversity of the people climbing on the walls. We want to play our part in changing that, so we’re particularly keen to hear from women and gender non-conforming climbers who’d like to develop their routesetting skills with us.
We’re recruiting for two roles:
🧗 In-house Routesetter
For someone with some routesetting experience who’s ready to develop further in a commercial environment. Minimal commercial routesetting experience is absolutely fine.
🌱 Trainee Routesetter
For someone who’s serious about developing as a routesetter but hasn’t yet had the opportunity to gain experience. No previous routesetting experience is necessary, you’ll learn on the job alongside our existing team.
Both roles are one day a week, on Mondays, initially for three months, with the possibility of extending beyond this period.
📍Location: Southend-on-Sea
At Indirock, inclusivity is at the heart of how we set. We want our walls to offer something for different bodies, heights, strengths, abilities and climbing styles. For us, great routesetting is about creating fun, inventive and interesting boulders, not simply making moves bigger or harder.
We’re looking for people who share that approach, are willing to learn and take feedback, and want to bring their own ideas and creativity to the team.
If you’ve thought about routesetting before but wondered whether you had enough experience, don’t let that stop you from applying.
Sound like you? Or does someone immediately come to mind?
If you can see yourself in this post, email us at [email protected] with the subject line “Routesetting Position”, tell us which role you’re interested in and a little bit about why.
Or send this post to that friend who’d make a great routesetter but might need a little push to go for it. 🧗
