i think one plus side to the random approach is that it is less likely to produce really similar problems over the long haul. at the gym where i boulder, i can do a problem and guess with about 90% accuracy who (out of approx 6 to 8 routesetters) set the problem. it is probably somewhat similar to any line of work, where you can get stuck in a rut for a while.

For those of you who put random holds on the wall, do you purposefully place them so that some are underclings, some are side pulls, gastons, downward pulls, etc.?

Typically I invite a bunch of folks over with the lure of beer and have them help me scattershot and then set some problems. Then, once they all leave, I go back and randomly twist holds around, as they'll have put nearly all the holds up in the downward pulling position. Which is hysterical as some of them are total badasses who should know better!
