NICAS is a UK-wide scheme designed to promote climbing development and accredit individual achievement on artificial climbing structures. It’s a starting point for people wishing to take up climbing and mountaineering, from novice to experienced, starting from age 7 at CanaryWall through the medium of bouldering.

The scheme (NICAS) runs from Level 1, through to Level 5 – Level 1 is the entry level, for those new to the sport and wanting to learn what bouldering is as a physical activity and how to use a bouldering wall safely. Level 5 are for those at a performance level, as a highly competent boulderer and will have advanced skills and knowledge of training and bouldering as well as experience of competitions at a local and national level. Completing Level 5 takes a minimum of 12 months and a substantial amount of effort and motivation, with a lot of self-led learning.

As I’m sure you can imagine, NICAS could be a young person’s first step into a new life sport; one that’s rapidly growing and is having its benefits continually proved, benefits being:

• a Mental Challenge: working out the best route to climb
• an Achievement: when you get there!
• a Workout: an all-over body workout, accessible yet challenging
