Oh sure. But to be clear, I'm talking just about the Point here, a rap-in climb out area with very few easy clean low grade routes.

No they can learn by whatever experiences they want. Key word "they", not "me". So when I go "hey want to try lead this?" and someone says "Aah I dunno it looks a bit hard" instead of going "Nah it's a fing sweet route, harden up and just try it you pussy, you're always gunna be a crappy gym climber if you don't try harder stuff on lead" I say "cool" and let them pick something to do that they're actually psyched on.
