When a few of us offered to do some route setting at Y-rock a few months back, the insurance/liability issue was given as the reason behind a polite refusal.

It is unfortunate that the current (or perceived) litigation climate seems to exclude willing volunteers from donating there time and effort in all sorts of situations, not just climbing gyms. As a Joe Public, you can't even supply a drink & a sandwich to a weary fire fighter unless you have a fully liscensed and accredited kitchen. It's all rather OTT in my humble opinion :-|

Hey Tim, I clearly remember sitting in Cliffhanger late one Sunday evening about a decade ago. Your dad bought in heaps of pizzas to feed us all after we had been route setting for the afternoon. Those was the days..........
