BMC Campaign
return to current news articles

The BMC is launching a campaign to improve safety at climbing walls and bridge the gap between indoor climbing and the less predictable environment climbers face outdoors. Tens of thousands of people are taking up climbing on indoor walls. Climbing outside is very different and more dangerous.

Last year there were a number of deaths and serious accidents, so the BMC is using the opportunity provided by additional funding to remind people of the dangers, encourage them to adopt good practice and techniques, and also provide them with quality information produced by training professionals. The messages will be conveyed through information panels at selected walls, and a new booklet and poster.
