Nowadays it is common to begin rock climbing on artificial climbing
walls, and there are even many regular climbers who rarely or never
venture onto natural crags. The accessibility, the relatively defined
nature and the less serious atmosphere often mean that such facilities
are ideal for beginners and are popular places to introduce others
to climbing. Artificial walls can allow a high level of performance
to be developed, and both indoor and outdoor venues are now available
for novices not only to start climbing but also to participate, train
and climb throughout the year.
The number of organised groups enjoying rock climbing and abseiling
on artificial climbing walls has risen over many years. Mountain Leader
Training (MLTUK and the home nation Training Boards: MLTE, MLTNI, MLTS
and MLTW) is concerned to ensure that high standards of supervision
are maintained, so that both enjoyment and safety are enhanced without
compromising either the sport or the participation of others. High
standards are achieved through experience, personal qualities, training
and validation.
At climbmts we provide CWA training and assessment courses over a 2
consecutive day period.
