On this episode we continue to discuss the world of route setting! We are joined by two wonderful route-setters (and dear friends) Jane Cuff and Julia Bruce-Robertson. We discuss being a woman in the setting industry, setting for para-climbing, setting for shorter/taller climbers, and more!

Thatcher Flynn is not hosting this episode. At the time of recording, they were sailing to a big-wall climbing destination on the south coast of Newfoundland!
