What We Mean When We Say “Diverse Setting Teams” – CBJ Podcast with Altana Elings-Haynie
Q: How do you address the challenge of balancing different working styles and personalities on the team?
She describes ongoing, hands-on management, emphasizing trust, open communication, direct feedback, keeping a professional baseline, and creating environments where diverse styles can collaborate rather than clash.
What We Mean When We Say “Diverse Setting Teams” – CBJ Podcast with Altana Elings-Haynie
Q: What does your new leadership role entail and how has your day-to-day changed?
Her responsibilities shifted from hands-on setting to broader program direction, supervising a growing two-gym footprint, hiring leaders, and focusing on strategic development while still setting some days.
What We Mean When We Say “Diverse Setting Teams” – CBJ Podcast with Altana Elings-Haynie
Q: Do you want to tell us who you are and a little bit about your climbing and setting history?
Altana shares her lifelong involvement in climbing, her transition into gym setting during adolescence, and her progression through multiple gyms and roles, highlighting a deep background in setting.
How the Scientific Method Informs Routesetting – Carly Snidow
Q: Can you explain induction and inductive inference like I'm a five-year-old?
Induction is about collecting small observations and turning them into general ideas; inductive inferences are conclusions drawn from combining those observations. For example, if a taller climber reaches a hold and a shorter climber has to jump, you might infer the move is reachy, and you then act on that inference in future routes.
Fundamentals of Paraclimbing and Parasetting – Mia DePaolis & Nat Vorel
Q: What is the common format of Para Climbing competition?
IFSC-format qualifiers with two qualifying routes and one final, using the same scoring as able-bodied events, with six-minute time limits adjusted to category as needed.
