Who is responsible for bad belaying? |

I have to say that as a staff member of a gym, correcting bad belaying of 'regulars' or even newbies often falls upon deaf ears!
So you can understand the frustration when you ask the same person to correct their belaying multiple times in 3 hours.
Newbies think they know it all because they've been at the gym for more than 10 minutes. 'Regulars' believe they know it all and sloppy belaying is okay because they know the consequences.
Regulars, listen up, the sloppy belaying is not on. letting go of the break end is not on, the newbies look up to you guys because you can climb to the top. They copy your belay techniques and it's just a vicious cycle.
Take responsibility for your actions, so many shit belayers in the gym that often it feels useless to correct it!
Regular climbers answer me with "yeah yeah" newbies usually put up an arguement why they're belaying is better! Just belay properly it really isn't any harder then belaying shitfully.
