Interview with Routesetter Alise Zvigule

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! Photo
