Climbing Wall Award

Have you ever wanted to teach indoor climbing?

This new award was launched by Mountain Leader Training in January 2008.

It is the outcome of considerable consultation with voluntary youth organizations, the education sector and the climbing community. The award will cover the skills and leadership qualities needed to introduce and supervise novice climbers on typical top roping and bouldering climbing walls.

There is an additional module in supervising abseiling from artificial structures (included as part of our CWA training course).

This award will appeal to teachers, youth leaders, scout and Duke of Edinburgh Award supervisors who have access to a climbing wall or artificial climbing/abseiling structure.

Climbing Wall Lead Award

From February 2010 Monsterclimbs will be providing the MLTB’s new Climbing Wall Lead Award. This award covers the skills needed to teach lead climbing on indoor and outdoor artificial walls.

Candidates must hold either the CWA or the SPA to register, and have completed 50 lead climbs, some of which must be 6a, and have logged sessions working as a CWA or SPA.
