An overview of the route set exercises using Shojinholds.
Workflow
1. Route set
2. Check with the Grip Guide
3. Tweek
4. Repeat
If possible, you should repeat this process twice a day.
It is more important to repeat it over and over again in a single practice session than to do it every day, which will increase your mastery.
1. Route set
Don’t think too much, just put the holds according to your senses.
The order of applying the holds is…
- Hold you hold at the crux
- The next hold to go get from the crux
- Hold before the crux
- Hold after the crux
You don’t have to build up from the start to the goal, and if you can do about three moves at random, you’re done.

2. Check with the Grip Guide
Make sure the direction of the hold you put on and how you hold it is the same as in the Grip Guide.
A little bit of difference is okay.
As for the way hands position, you should look closely at your right and left hand, as long as they are the same.
3. Tweek
Change any hold that is different from the Grip Guide into a proper hold. Try to make the move as identical as possible to the move you made in the beginning.
Of course, there are also cases where holding in a direction not recommended or described in the Grip Guide is not a big problem. However, in this exercise, anything that is different from the Grip Guide will be changed rapidly.
The goal is not to choose the “right hold”, but only to make a “good move”. Think about the differences and contradictions that emerge, the good and bad decisions, and try to look for answers.
It’s natural that it won’t work. You can gradually get better at it through repetition.
