Coyote’s routesetters draw on a combined 50+ years of climbing and setting experience, including setting for the IFSC‘s World Cup Bouldering competitions. We are constantly putting up new lead and top-rope routes, and boulder problems for climbers of all skill levels to challenge themselves on and enjoy. Follow us on facebook for updates on new routes, problems, and area re-sets.
