Already counting down to next year 🔥🧑🍳
Huge thank you to our setters, guest challenger Sebi, judges, and everyone who came out for the third annual Iron Setter at Movement Gowanus!
Our very own director of routesetting, Vini Campos, was named our 2025 champion, but maybe the real Iron Setter was the friends we made along the way 😌

We’re stoked to bring this local film to the gym. @william.moss12 grew up climbing at LIC, alongside filmmakers (and longtime LIC members) Henry Fernberger and Gregory Berg making this a true hometown send. Stick around after the screening for a Q&A with climbers Will Moss and Russ Clune!
