Don't set problems individually. Just randomly put up all your holds in the sickest positions you can imagine. Then create your problems out of the randomness.

i always tried to set lines that were not obvious. you would have a series of holds and it was not clear how to put the line together. if you figured out the sequence the line went. of course that doesn't work if you are setting routes for yourself.

work on your weakness. if there is a hold you hate and you have a hard time pulling on. put it smack in the middle of your problem.

Gretchen:
Setting at an angle increases the effective steepness of the problem and allows for a longer problem! It's for your own good, honest!

That's what you keep telling me! I just can't convince myself past five moves

lots of off balance moves are what I like. I also like to use mono's.

Im manage a bouldering gym here at school in CO, if I am setting route for anyone I usally set up moderate problems with a mix of holds. But when I set them up for me and the other harder boulder's to play on, latley I have been setting up slopper problems on the 45%

overhang wall and reachy crimpers on the 20% overhang wall

Oh yea, jibs and tracking only for feet. Unless you are a real bad one and only liked taped feet ect...

If you are having trouble setting routes with new movement try setting a basic problem, with plenty of holds. Then climb it using the simplest way. Then remove every hold you used doing it the simplest way. If you still can do the problem easily remove more holds. You can easily end up with somthing very contrived, at first its hard to get motivated to do moves that are unatractive or "jacked" but it will teach your body new things!!! give it a whirl.
