World Cup Routesetting - Meiringen 2021

At the 2021 IFSC Boulder World Cup in Meiringen - the first in 22 months due to the COVID-19 pandemic - five route setters faced multiple challenges: new holds, new athletes and a desire to bring new movements to the table. The goal of simultaneously separating the climbers and creating a spectacular show is never easy, but through collaboration and taking risks, the team attempts to find a balance. This film shows the process of setting for a World Cup, from the initial imagination stage to all the self-doubt, fear and last-minute changes ahead of watching the show that they’ve choreographed. ’It’s the whole tour that makes a good competition, it’s never just one boulder alone.’ - Manu Hassler Featuring, Manu Hassler, Laurent Laporte, Gen Hirashima, Rémi Samyn and Pierre Broyer. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Langue: Frensh, Japanese Subtitle : English, Russian (“Russian subtitles by )
