Climbing Wall Solutions

Over the last 20 years we have trained and assessed staff at over 45 school walls, large and small commercial climbing walls, bouldering only walls, climbing towers and council run climbing walls. These include Leeds Wall, The Lab, The Depot, Nottingham climbing Centre, The Barn, Kirklees and Bradford Councils, Leeds University, Leeds Beckett University, (testimonials can be found here). We have been brought in after serious accidents have occurred to advise schools and health and safety teams on best practise and delivered expert witness reports in court cases involving staff who are site specifically trained. This is why we believe we are the number one climbing wall trainers in the country.

Our rigorous training and assessment process will ensure that only those who meet the highest standards will receive the “statement of competence” certificate on passing the course, an essential requirement of the HSE.
