With the inclusion of 280 climbing walls in the directory this year as well as some fun and games with the UrbanClimber UK indoor training section, this will be the most comprehensive directory yet. Since the last edition in 2009 the climbing wall industry has expanded at a pace and there are many new walls to be added to the already excellent range of British indoor climbing. The BMC continues to work to improve access to facilities for climbers, hill walkers & mountaineers, not just to climbing walls but also to the natural facilities that bring us so much pleasure. Despite much success we still need your support so join the BMC today.

  • CBC Document – Mar 2020 INFORMATION for ABSEIL
    CBC Document – Mar 2020 The following information is intended as a handout for trainees and participants before commencing the activity. INFORMATION FOR ABSEIL TRAINEES AND CANYONING PARTICIPANTS Context Canyoning involves descending rock clefts such as waterfalls and gaps in rocks created by water. It often requires abseiling, swimming, liloing as well as rock hopping and scrambling abilities. Walking into and out of the canyon can also involve scrambling over rocks and rock climbing. Canyon participant requirements Attributes of participants for canyoning • Suitable balance evident by experience with rock hopping in creeks. • For vertical canyons, suitable abseil experience and skills. • For any canyon with deep water (more than 1.7m), the ability to tread water and swim for at least 50 metres wearing clothing and shoes. • Adequate fitness and agility to complete the trip. There is normally no going back after the first abseil requiring the group to commit to completing the trip. • Leaders and co-leaders to be advised (in confidence) of any medical condition that may affect abseiling, rock hopping or swimming. • Overnight bivies are rare in canyons, but they can happen. Recommend you have adequate mental and physical ability, as well as lightweight equipment to deal with such an event. Required equipment for Abseil training • A day pack with some snacks and water. • A helmet. A bike helmet is adequate for training. • Gloves. Any close-fitting protective gloves will do. Sailing gloves with just the tips of the forefinger and thumb exposed are ideal as they are designed for wet conditions, but leather riggers or close-fitting gardening gloves are OK.

  • Climb Antarctica Required Clothing and Equipment List
    CLIMB ANTARCTICA REQUIRED CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT LIST Conditions in Antarctica change drastically throughout our season and vary depending on your location. At Union Glacier, the climate is very dry and generally sunny but wind chill can impact temperatures greatly with early November being as cold as -22°F (-30°C). Average mid-season temperatures range from -12°F to 30°F (-24°C to -1°C). To be prepared for all conditions, it is important to have a selection of items you can mix and match. The layering system described below will keep you safe and comfortable in all conditions—it is also the same system utilized by our Antarctic field staff. You do not need to wear ALL of these layers ALL of the time. Dress for the weather conditions and the activity level you expect to encounter and bring extra layers with you in your backpack in case conditions change. Base Layer Materials Polyester, Merino Wool, or Silk but NO COTTON Examples Patagonia Capilene or Smartwool Description Your first layer consists of a lightweight or midweight long- sleeved thermal top and bottom. We recommend materials that wick moisture away from your body like polyester or merino wool. If you cannot wear artificial fibers or wool, silk is an alternate option. Cotton traps moisture and can cause you to chill more rapidly. Zip T-necks are a great option as they allow ventilation. Bring undergarments, sports bras, and/or camisoles in a similar wicking material. Mid Layer Materials Polyester, Merino Wool, Stretch Fleece, Grid Fleece Examples Patagonia R1 Fleece or Rab Power Stretch Description Your second layer consists of a long-sleeved heavyweight (expedition weight) base layer top and bottom or lightweight stretch fleece top and bottom.

  • Wall Free Climb in the World by Tommy Caldwell
    FREE PASSAGE Finding the path of least resistance means climbing the hardest big- wall free climb in the world By Tommy Caldwell Obsession is like an illness. At first you don't realize anything is happening. But then the pain grows in your gut, like something is shredding your insides. Suddenly, the only thing that matters is beating it. You’ll do whatever it takes; spend all of your time, money and energy trying to overcome. Over months, even years, the obsession eats away at you. Then one day you look in the mirror, see the sunken cheeks and protruding ribs, and realize the toll taken. My obsession is a 3,000-foot chunk of granite, El Capitan in Yosemite Valley. As a teenager, I was first lured to El Cap because I could drive my van right up to the base of North America’s grandest wall and start climbing. I grew up a clumsy kid with bad hand-eye coordination, yet here on El Cap I felt as though I had stumbled into a world where I thrived. Being up on those steep walls demanded the right amount of climbing skill, pain tolerance and sheer bull-headedness that came naturally to me. For the last decade El Cap has beaten the crap out of me, yet I return to scour its monstrous walls to find the tiniest holds that will just barely go free. So far I have dedicated a third of my life to free climbing these soaring cracks and razor-sharp crimpers. Getting to the top is no longer important.

NEED FOR VERTICAL SPEED Climbing will make its Olympic debut this summer, complete with a version of the sport that requires speed and oozes adrenaline—but lacks one thing climbers love. BY JOHN BURGMAN YOU MAY have been rock climbing before, but you’ve never done it the way Nathaniel Coleman is doing it right now at the Momentum Indoor Climbing gym in Salt Lake City. Coleman isn’t climb- ing so much as Spider-Manning his way up a 15-meter wall, all instinct and quick reflexes, just a few feet from the top in under six seconds. That’s where he coils his legs and leaps (yes, really), smacking the buzzer before falling backward to swing from his safety harness. Electric, right? Except Coleman, one of the United States’ finest competitive climbers, can’t stand it. “Speed PHOTOGRAPHS BY PETER BOHLER MEN’S HEALTH / April 2020 17 BODY LICENSE TO SKILL!

  • New Beacon Climbing Centre Attracts Visitors to Wales Submitted By: Visit Wales Wednesday, 1 August 2012
    New Beacon Climbing Centre attracts visitors to Wales Submitted by: Visit Wales Wednesday, 1 August 2012 The Beacon Climbing Centre is now open for business at its new location in the former Barcud Studio on Caernarfon's Cibyn Estate. The popular indoor climbing wall known simply as 'The Beacon' has been an important part of the north Wales climbing scene since opening 18 years ago, and is a favourite with locals and those on a UK activity holiday (http://www.visitwales.co.uk) alike. The move from Ceunant's Marconi building to bigger premises, with room for 56 roped lines, has given the Beacon the chance to provide a greatly improved facility for both elite climbers and beginners. The main lead climbing wall, heavily featured with grooves and changes of angle, is 17 metres high at its tallest point and overhangs by seven metres on its steepest section. Opposite this is a gently overhanging 15 metre speed climbing wall. A further wall is available for top roping and introductory leading. All in all an ideal destination for getting active (http://www.visitwales.co.uk/active/) in Wales. Currently only one of the three bouldering areas are open but within the next couple of months an impressive 11 metre long and five metre high bouldering 'routing roof' and free standing boulder will be completed. Director Gill Lovick said: “We’ve waited a long time for this and it’s really exciting to finally realise our ambitions after months of hard work by the Beacon staff and our external contractors." She added: "In addition to providing a top class
