Original job description

$30 – $35 per hour, depending on experience. Up to 18 regular hours a week.

Approach Climbing is a bouldering gym at 12080 Bridgeport Road in Richmond, with about 3,000 square feet of walls in 8 sections. We are hiring a head setter to lead our setting program and the existing team behind it.

What You’ll Do

Plan and run the set rotation across all eight sections, maintaining a bell curve of grades and range of styles on the wall at all times.
Lead set days: assign setters, forerunners and hold-washing, make the setting plan, calls on grades and changes, and run the debrief.
Maintain safe setting practices for the crew and for customers: close off and mark the areas being set, keep ladders, lifts and tools in good working order, and check that every boulder is safe to fall from.
Coach and develop a small crew of setters, including apprentices, and help hire new ones.
Keep the record of every boulder on the wall current, with its grade, section, setter and set date (we use KAYA today).
Manage the hold, volume, and equipment collection, including ordering from suppliers. Propose and justify new equipment purchases.
Gather and act on member feedback about the sets.

What We’re Looking For

Previous experience as a head setter, or management experience together with significant commercial setting experience.
Range: you can set good boulders from beginner through hard grades, and forerun them honestly and consider feedback from your team.
Strong organizational and communication skills.
Comfort working at height and with power tools, ladders and lifts, and a commitment to safe setting practice.
First aid certification, or willingness to get it.
