Leading in gyms	18-Dec-2003 At 1:14:15 PM	dodgy

Often the gyms run "lead courses", purely for internal climbing (although you might apply the techniques to bolted sport routes). These are for the benefit of people who started in the gym. They also do "competancy" tests, for people who (obviously?) have climbed before. basically just to confirm they know what they are doing. Vic Ranges don't get belayers to tie in It always seems to be BYO gear for leading. Interesting, gyms who have grigri's for top ropes then allow belayers to use any device, I suspect accidents have partly been attributed to by this. The belayers have become complacent with the grigri then lack attention with a passive device and drop leaders...
