Who is responsible for bad belaying?	15-Nov-2007 At 11:03:07 AM	bluey

I think this thread has a really easy answer. Each party has their bit of responsibility. The lead climber is responsible for choosing a sensible and experienced belayer. The belayer is responsible for offering their services only if suitably able. The gym is responsible for keeping an eye on it all. When a leader falls it may be a combination of all or some of those parties not adequately doing their bit. But no one individual is totally responsible for ensuring safety in a multi-party undertaking such as belaying at a gym. And there you have it.
