Alise Zvigule is a latvian climber, former competition climber and now a routesetter. She describes her way into routesetting as a hard fight and experienced preconceptions in that working field, hearing statements like: “A woman can't set or can’t climb this”. Now Alise is in another position. She got a spot in the IFSC diversity program for routesetting, is setting at IFSC competitions and this year, she turned an idea into reality that had been on her mind for a long time: She organized a gathering of international female routesetters. We spoke about: - Alise struggle to get into routesetting at a time, when there were very few women in that field - Her experiences at the IFSC European Championships in Munich 2022 - The gathering of routesetters she organized in Switzerland - Diversity in routesetting - And why, in her opinion, such womens gatherings can be important to give opportunities and spaces to learn and grow Thank you Alise for the talk!
