The RSM Photo Contest is live in the Gallery!

The third annual Route Setter Magazine Photo Contest is back! Share your best indoor photos on the Gallery throughout the month of September for a chance to win raffle prizes and, if you're skilled enough to make it into the jury's top-three, you'll earn yourself a chunk of the 2700โ‚ฌ cash purse and maybe even a spot on the magazine's cover.

Gym Vibes is the theme for this year's contest, and the spotlight is on all of the elements of indoor climbing that fuel us: movement, routesetting, design and community. Go to the gallery to upload your submission and to vote for your favourites. The cash prize winners will be chosen by the Vertical-Life jury and announced with the release of RSM #6 in November! Raffle prizes by Saltic are up for grabs, too, among all participants AND voters!

About Route Setter Magazine
In 2016, Vertical-Life launched a software tool for gyms that focuses on routesetting management and analysis, with the basis for indoor ascent logging via the Vertical-Life app. As we talked with our customers - gym owners and setters from around the globe - we felt the need to create a dedicated space for their stories and the past, present and future of their craft. And so, the first edition of the Route Setter Magazine was published in 2018, the first publication dedicated solely to sharing knowledge and innovation in the field of routesetting and indoor climbing. Each year since, RSM covers industry developments and the stories and perspectives of leading routesetters and gym professionals from around the globe.

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders.
