Jeremy Ho, one of the most experienced Routesetting Directors in North America, has a vision of modern setting where the entire route is an aesthetic installation.

This perspective influenced the style of his first series, the elegantly tapered directional Lo Riders (right), and his follow up series, the smoothly curving Dunes (below).

The entire Lo Rider series is included in the IFSC T20 Olympic Hold Catalogue.

Lo Riders stand out visually without interrupting the wall, as, like their name suggests, they ride low.

Dunes have a more traditional profile though, like the Lo Riders, they are smooth-fronted to blend in with other smooth series. The Dune grip positions are varied, meaning each hold provides an additional opportunity for the setter to challenge the climber.
