When you know you're going to send your project the next time you go but when you come back they already reset the problems.

I think my biggest pet peeve in the gym is unattended kids that wander under an overhang where people are climbing, they don't know they're putting themselves and climbers in danger by running through fall zones

When you struggle for 20 minutes on a seemingly impossible problem before realizing you overlooked a hold.

I left my chalk bag open once, and a day pass family came over and used it like it was a community bucket.

Top 1 things gym climbers hate: lockdown

Here's a good one:

How about working on a climb for an hour just for your friend to flash it and move on in front of your now suicidal eyes?

Gatekeeping is legit the most toxic and unproductive thing in any kind of fandom and really just ruins it for anyone new and for a lot of people that already belong

[jonkauf]

How about gyms setting dynos that have other problems with big holds in the way, so you're more worried about smacking your face/knee/shoulder rather than completing the jump.

As a fairly new climber, I'd love an Albert Ok video on the climbing etiquette that newbies most often violate.

I've never spilled my own chalk, but I DID experience the joy of a small child dumping their parent's chalk bag into my backpack. So that was fun :)

6. Getting absolutely crop dusted by the dude next to you who just dunked his hands in chalk to later clap it all off

the worst one for me is unsupervised children running all over the gym

When they downgrade a problem destroying your ego.

People who move around in groups and then rotate on a problem without taking any breaks to let others go and often stand near the problem looking at it. I’m fine with just cutting in to try the problem, but I know many people who are more shy and so they just get locked out of a problem.

New climbers are factored into your gyms financial plans. If you want your gym to expand, buy new holds or even just, you know, stay open, its something you're going to have to deal with. Most people already feel out of place when they start climbing, so if you try to be polite when explaining things to them they usually take them to heart.

Albert: "Spoilers are bad"

Also Albert: Spoils Harry Potter in order to demonstrate why spoilers are bad. :))

I agree with all of the points you made. I would like to add one more. When all the routes are set by tall humans and the difficulty is set by just making bigger moves. For short climbers it takes the fun out of it pretty quickly. I like to be challenges, but I don't want to break the beta on every route. Long story short... We need a big amount of short women that set hard as nails routes.

I've just begun climbing 2 months ago now and absolutely love it. I go to the gym roughly 4 times a week now. The thing that keeps me wanting to come back is the community. At my local gym i find everyone is so polite and helpful. It felt super good when i struggled on a specific route maybe 50 times and finally finished it. It was awesome just finishing it but having people cheer me on when i finally did it was awesome. Even as somewhat of a beginner i feel like i belong even with the much stronger climbers.

The worst thing for me is when the beta sprayers are worse than you, they just don’t realize you are tired or trying to cheat the route in some cool or fun way.
