Facebook is a cesspool of intolerance and misinformation, why people bother with it I do not understand.

I belong to a few tech- related Slack groups that are friendly and fun. I don’t think Slack would suit climbing banter, but the success of those groups I would attribute to the organisers who have put together codes of conduct and are keen to see the spirit of inclusiveness maintained. It’s not political correctness or cancel culture, its about maintaining a space where people feel welcome and safe and able to contribute.

In the glory days of Chockstone I don’t think it was ever that welcoming or inclusive. A few individuals were ready to pounce and rip into anyone who turned up and said something considered uncool by those who decide such things. So when the climbing community began to faced some challenges, not surprising people wandered off.
