This is it…our 12th annual Grip List Survey! Each year, routesetters across the globe share their latest insights and vote on their favorite holds, macros, volumes, and other tools of the trade. It’s a celebration of innovation, legacies, and sick shapes to set with and climb on!
Like last year, we’ve added questions about routesetting programs in order to collect and share more data about this vital aspect of climbing gym operations. You’ll see questions that will help us analyze route density, safety policies, professional development, and more. Check out our Routesetting Trends 2024 report to see last year’s survey results (respondents get free access to the article; just contact us if you have not yet).

Every respondent earns both (a) a thank-you discount from Rúngne, and (b) a chance to win one of two $250 Rúngne shopping sprees! Thank you Rúngne for sponsoring this year’s survey!
