Mostly, I think about the route and staying safe while I set it.

I think about my ego. I like to put up 5.12s and grade them 5.8 ; )

Think of moves to make the route at least mildly interesting.

I choose a couple moves that I want to be the focus of the route and just see where it goes from there. Variety is very important so it's not just crimp crimp crimp, I just center it around and interesting sequence and build.

Usually all I can think is 'man this harness is hurting my balls.'
Other than that, sex.

Usually my thoughts run through the following but no necessarily in this order...
where are the holds going to go?
what if my anchor blew right NOW.
my legs are numb.
how long have I been up here?
what time is it?
godamn its getting late.
gotta upload the site revisions tomorrow.
I hope that Mars Volta CD isn't in the changer.
I'll have to go down and smash it, if its in the changer.
I should eat something.
I'll have to go down for that.
fuck I hate my bosses boss
if Mars Volta starts playing I'll go down, grab a bite and a hammer.
where are the holds going to go?
hope I don't drop the t-wrench
man its creepy in here at 3am.
I hope that Sinatra CD is in the changer, he's bad-ass.
I think that (female climber) would be better off with me and not him.
This isn't hard enough, Bigboy's going to cruise it.
Fuck this harness is uncomfortable, WHY do I always bring THIS one?
"Waiting for Rockclimbing.com"
Too bad Dan couldn't set tonight, then if my anchor blew right... NOW there'd be someone here to help me and it wouldn't be so creepy in here.
man her BF seems like such a dick, i'd never treat her like tha-FUCKING MARS VOLTA GOD DAMNIT!
descend descend descend
bite bite, yum yum
smash smash smash
do dooo, do do doooooo, "that's why the ladyyyyyy is a tramp", do dooo, do do doooooo
Sinatra's such a cool motherfucker
bite bite, yum yum, gulp
ascend ascend ascend
what if my anchor blew right....NOW
there's not enough feet on this route
how come my routes always seem to be 5.10's?
crap I forgot to pay the phone bill.
does the fact that I love Starbucks make me one of those yuppie scumbags?
if only Family Guy's wife was real...and Betty Rubble...
if I was a bird, I wouldn't care if my anchor blew right.......NOW.
why is it that i'm so cool and no one seems to notice?
awww, fuckin' t-wrench!
ooo, and Velma! I bet she'd be freakkkkkkkaaaayyyyy.
so I guess "Failed Sending Email" is programmer speak for "Your Message Was Successfully Posted".
my legs are numb again.
that's pretty much it I think, just pick a random spot and loop it from there.

You are right sir, Sinatra is the man, but what’s so bad about mars volta? I’m not sure how I would feel about climbing a route that was set by someone who didn’t like mars volta.

I think about how to piss off the gym crowd. More specifically, I set stuff that will disturb their urbane notion of aesthetic movement and structure. Most times it is built upon profanely delicate movements through sequences that are hard to initially discern. That and trapping them into dead ends requiring some finicky readjustment and critical thinking under duress.
Ditto on all the mars volta thoughts. Honestly, everything else fades in and out around my constant worries of dropping something on a little kid since they are in the majority during the middle of the day when I set.

Usually what grip to put where, how small/crappy a grip I can use and how, awkward can I make the a move.
But for me the fun comes after the routes finished when i mainly think: "Damn! another one of my routes I cant do!"

My version:
Damn, Now I'm gonna need a chair.
I wonder if the Y has a ladder around.
I wonder if anyone would notice if I stole it.
Ok, my arms are numb. Guess its time to harness up and really get this thing going.
Is this supposed to be a 5.6?
How come I try an easy route and it always hits 5.8. Oh well, 5.8 it is.
Damn, climbing with a bucket of holds sucks when all you've got is a 5.10 to climb.
Employ prussiks?
Sh*t no! Antigravity training, right?
hmm. Maybe I should climb all the way up and set top-down.
Nah, top-down routes suck.
Awe crap. Forgot my wrenches.
Thank god Nick knows how to throw up a wrench (or 3)
Crap. Stupid T-nut is stripped.
Hey! send me up the tap!
Hey look, these bolts I have been leading on all month are SUPER loose!
Should I bother tightening them?
God I hate setting on an overhang.
Why doesn't our gym have more slabby stuff?
Well, if I can do the move with this heavy-a** bucket it must be easy.
I really gotta set more routes I can't climb so I can get better.
Hey! that guy's not double backed.
Why don't the climbers at our gym WANT to wear climbing shoes?
I'm going to make Nick vacuum tonight, because I can.
I really hate vacuuming.
Alright, lets try this thing ground up.
Dammit, still too hard.
Have to go up and replace holds.
We really need to list the route names and colors out behind plexiglass.
Wonder if I will ever get around to it.
peace.
-chris
