Not while leading but while climbing at cliffhanger a few years ago. A teacher from a local TAFE was teaching a course in risk assessment and had a group of about 20 students come and visit the gym. The teacher who clearly had no understanding of climbing or climbing equipment proceeded to explain how gym climbing was extreemly dangerous and unsafe because it "contained unacceptable risks". He also said that "climbers used really skinny ropes which should be thicker in order to have an acceptably safety margin" I didn't find out which institution they were from, however if i did I would probably have written a letter of complaint.
