who is this diva ✨ meet LIC’s new lift!
If you’ve wondered what this special piece of equipment is doing hanging out in the ropes bay at LIC, it’s here to help our setters create more amazing climbs for you!
Setting in our lead cave and high bay can be challenging due to the aggressive terrain, and having a lift allows our setters produce routes with bigger volumes and holds than setting manually would provide. The lift will be here for a few months while as pilot to see if we’d like to bring one into the gym permanently.
The gist: having a lift means more 3D climbing + longer routes in the lead cave and high bay 🌟 We’ll also be increasing rotation in the lead cave, so you’re not just getting better routes—you’ll get more of them, too!
Got questions? Shoot us a DM or hit us up at the front desk!

have you spotted some new setter boards + tag stickers around the gym? 👀
If you’re an eagle-eyed community member, you might’ve seen some new stickers on route tags around the gym (peep the last slide for an example!). That’s our new meta tags in action, comprised of setter logos on all climbs and style characteristics on boulders:
Setter logos note who created the climb, and who supported with shaping the final product. You can find your setters logos paired with their Polaroid.
Style characteristics are just for boulders, and they denote the general experience our setters hope the climber has on the problem— trainer, skill builder, or test piece.
You can find your setters’ logos and style characteristics breakdown posted in your gym! ✨
