MCofS Support for New Walls
The MCofS will actively encourage the development of new walls in Scotland in line with the agreed Strategy. This may include new build projects or upgrades to existing walls; they may be private ventures, charitable projects, local authority facilities including those within schools; the main criteria being a requirement for public access in an un-restricted manner in accordance with our policy to ensure facilities are built, designed and managed for the benefit of climbers (climbing activities, and climber expectations regarding freedoms to enjoy their sport are quite different to that of other indoor sports and are not always understood by non-climbing developers, and the MCofS aims to provide specific advice on the management of a climbing facility).
