How often does your local gym change their bouldering routes? I am gradually getting more frustrated with the gym where I climb. It is not a large climbing gym, and some of the routes have been up since Sept of last year.

The bouldering wall I go to is split into 6 sections and each week one section gets reset. Everyone is happy this way: new problems every week and everything stays for 6 weeks.

Dear gawd, one of the gyms I go to hasn't seen a change in the bouldering wall for at least 15 months.

The Gym where I climb and sometimes set at re-sets on a rotation. There isn't really a specific pattern, but 2 months seems to be the norm between re-sets. It's long enough that you get a chance to work and finish a project. But at the same time there are new routes/fresh holds every few weeks because of the rotation.
I would say over 3 months is too long, and under a month is too short.
