Calshot is running the new National Indoor Climbing Achievement Scheme NICAS. This scheme is designed to give participants an exciting and structured introduction to climbing and then develop each individual to become a competent and accomplished climber. The award is run by the Association of British Climbing walls and is endorsed by the British Mountaineering Council.
Using a log book, climbers record their progress through the scheme, logging climbs, belays and boulder problems that they need to complete for each level of the award (a charge may be made for Logbooks).
