Do you tell beginners to watch if a lead route is going to intersect with a climb they're
starting? I doubt its part of the standard check list. Its hard for the leader to do
anything, the belayer may be out of reach especially if its a noisy gym, so its something
the beginner needs to be responsible for. Might be worth considering. Or a little note
on the more "at risk" climbs. I mention it because this was a situation where no one was
really doing anything obviously wrong and it could easily have turned into a serious injury.
