Seconding what multiple people have said re: diversity of climbers -- if you see people of a wide range of ages and genders climbing, if you see climbers with disabilities, it's a very very good sign.

And it tends to mean that the route-setting has to be more creative, because it can't just be "power" routes; you have to set routes that reward technique and balance and flexibility and imagination too.
