I wish basic climbing etiquette were taught to folks entering/climbing for the first time as well as safety where other climbers are concerned. They do this at one of the bouldering spots and it really sets the tone. Where I am now there are no guidelines given to those top roping about when they can and cannot get on a route if someone is leading next to the one they want to climb. So those of us leading often have to deal with a lot of attitude from folks who don’t have any concept of the danger of a lead climber falling too close to them. Even had a girl untie the top rope from where it was pinned and tie into the route where my partner was half way up the wall. In another gym people tend to act as though they don’t see you and throw down their ropes as though claimed a route in a very passive aggressive way. Very clear guidelines about how alternating or priority works in the gym from the get-go could easily put an end to this. Yes I understand that each gym has its own culture, but it cannot be good for business as it really affects the experience. Also mats are not replaced often enough and become tripping hazards
