There’s huge variability even in some of the gyms in the article, whether from site to site or inter-tester variability. Whether or not it improves safety, if it helps places like this stay open and solvent I guess that’s a win, but I wouldn’t rely solely on someone’s passing a gym’s test for me to let them catch me in a lead fall.

I’ve also been failed in seemingly spurious details that I was subsequently passed on with different testers at several gyms.
