I rate Mile End, Alex, and his setting so much. An absolute WAD in his own right, but has enough vision and understanding to do this difficult balancing act: to get amazing, *hard* board problems together, world class comp style boulders, but keep enough variety for punters (like me!). A clear indication of someone with their own inspiration but also of someone who listens. Love to see it

It's always great to see Mile End. It's dear to my heart having worked there back in the 90s. A big hello to anyone who remembers me or my comp wall problems (the days of small crimpy holds) Setting is both an art and a science and it's amazing to see the evolution of indoor boulders, and the professionalism that is needed to create inspiring modern routes.

I've never been to Mile End but Alex's setting seems to have a huge reputation through videos and social media - definitely looking forward to getting down there soon.

Alex is a super climber and setter but so is Michal who appears in this video at this back stage maaaany times. I loved Michals approach and training tips when i climbed in Mile End. Super friendly and very peofessional in ecerything he does! See you soon Michal!

Such a brilliant vid, really took me back to my undergrad days, heading to MEW after uni to hang with firends and clear my head. This wall and the route setting will always be a favourite! Big respect

So called 'wads' used to tell Percy Bishton that his setting was too hard. Then he would cruise up stuff they could barely get off the ground on.

I approach setting with a more similar mindset as I would chess than I would art (unless you think those are similar or the same). Chess as in you're thinking of very specific ways to do specific things and you want to narrow down the climbers options like you would your opponent in chess.

lowkey hate the new parkour style of competition climbing though, being honest.
