With 48 years of climbing and knowledge of competition routes, combined with the fact he has been route setting on climbing walls since 1985, he has a huge amount of experience to bring interesting and creative routes to a climbing wall.
Ian has always been passionate about climbs, climbing well and having interesting and subtle movements he likes to think his routes and boulder problems show and reflect this creative side of his personality.
Ian is particularly good at setting routes that test children without having long reaches on them and he is quite capable of setting any grade of climb up to 8a. Ian is also a provider of the BMC's Route Setting for Coaching Workshop.
