World Cup climbers and setters exploring movements

“In bouldering competitions, there is limited time and opportunity for route setters to explore new movements. Route setters are always under pressure and have no time to push new concepts to their limit. They often have to make quick decisions in order to split the ranking and create an interesting show. Manuel Hassler (Flathold co-owner) decided to create a collaborative space and invited some international route setters to join two of the world’s best competition climbers (Olympic Champion Janja Garnbret (SLO) and two-time overall IFSC Boulder World Cup winner Yoshiyuki Ogata (JPN). The idea was to create a new playground for the setters and the athletes to explore route settings outside of the competition circuit and try to push ideas to a new dimension.“ Featuring: Janja Garnbret, Yoshiyuki Ogata, Manuel Hassler, Pierre Broyer, Katja Vidmar and Gen Hirashima Directed by: Mathieu Achermann Camera: Joao Prates, Mathieu Achermann Edit: Mathieu Achermann Color Grading: Romain Do - Pandado Studio English Subtitles: Natalie Berry
