Frequently Asked Questions

What should climbing gym surveys focus on?

Route setting quality and variety, grade accuracy, safety, facility cleanliness, community vibe and NPS. Route quality is by far the most important factor for climber satisfaction.

How often should climbing gyms survey members?

Monthly climber pulse for all members, plus surveys after major route resets and competitions. Route-specific feedback can be collected via QR codes near the problems.

How can route feedback improve my gym?

Data on grade distribution preferences helps setters create a better variety. If intermediate climbers feel under-served, adding more V4–V6 problems can dramatically increase visit frequency for that segment.
