Vertical South Climbing
What's up Senders and Setters?! Vertical South is a climbing channel with a unique perspective and goal. John and Nick take you behind the scenes of their local climbing gym to teach some common themes of routesetting boulders, show of new problems they are setting or projecting and showcase local climbing crags and gyms! Vertical South aims to shine some light and roll out the red carpet for southeast climbing in the U.S. We are glad you found us and look forward to having you on our Send Train.
We generally Upload 4 times a month on Wednesday's!
Whether you are a homewall climber, outdoor climber gym climber, new climber or crusty we have setting and sending content for you, be sure to check out our playlists and leave some love in the comments if we brightened your day or entertained you during your cup of coffee!
