Great thread. Re "duty of care", I think that Hardrock in the city is close to breaching its duty regarding maintaining the wall against excessive spinning holds. Nothwithstanding the waiver I signed, I'd bring an action if I got injured whilst leading if a hold slipped. That said, I think the staff there do a quite good job policing the place - which must be difficult. In the UK, a good number of climbers have insurance, which (at least in part) covers negligence/public liability claims. I've heard of at least one instance where a seriously injured climber sued their (insured) partner, in the context of complicitly manipulated facts supporting a claim for negligence.
