In this episode, Coach Matt Pincus and I discuss the extremely important topic of crag etiquette. As more climbers join the sport and crags and boulder fields become more crowded, there\u2019s a growing need for us all to be on the same page about who gets to climb when, how to communicate with each other, and what our expectations are of each other in general.

This conversation\u2019s purpose is to bring some difficult topics into the light and hopefully to help climbers understand each other better, have more tools to use with each other in sticky situations, and to\u2013more than anything\u2013help us all have an amazing and safe time climbing outside with each other.

Here\u2019s what we talked about:

Communication

a. Who\u2019s climbing when
b. For how long
c. Permission to join bouldering crew
d. Brush holds
e. Beta sharing desires
f. Encouragement desires

Taking up space

a. Yard sale
b. Loud conversations
c. Taking long time to get ready when there\u2019s a queue
d. Talking to belayers

Impact on others

a. Smoking
b. Music
c. Screaming performatively on climbs
d. Wobbling
e. Yelling at ppl for waiting for a route you\u2019re currently on
f. Dogs

I hope this conversation sparks conversations of your own with your climber friends!
