Local climbing gym scary place	16-Apr-2018 At 12:47:33 PM	Sandym

But does it happen every single time someone climbs on the wall? I've yet to see anyone belay properly. A big problem is none of the staff nor the owner is actually a climber and they do not seem to appreciate that one second with your hand off the brake could mean serious injury. This is the only gym I have climbed at in Australia and they have all the ropes set (top-rope only) with old school ATC's. Is this standard in Australia? I'm thinking at least a gri-gri or similar would mean there was at least some belay. Not, of course, if the belayer were to hold the handle open, but these belayers (I use the term very loosely) simply let go of the rope altogether.
