Not all climbing gyms are exactly social spaces.
Some have a good culture of being a social space etc, others don't.
I've been a member of both types - the current place I climb (the only one in my current city) really lacks the social element.
I suspect there's a survivorship bias esque thing happening where people only really report on the sociable climbing walls, and nobody talks about the others.
- Fricken 4y agoThe general air of sociability at my gym has gone up and down over the years. The culture seems to be driven by a handful of A-type personalities, and when less of them are showing up the place feels a fair bit less extroverted.
