BMC & UIAA Proposals 2003 (20 Feb 2003)
Monday, June 2nd, 2008
According to Marco Scolaris, President of the UIAA Council for Competiton Climbing (introducing young people to climbing using expansion bolts):’The UIAA-ICC want all young people to have the opportunity to try indoor climbing (once again introducing young people to climbing on expansion bolts) as they already do in some (mis-guided) countries as part of the school curriculum.’
The UIAA, is strongly supported by the – British Mountaineering Council (BMC). The last (to 2002) General Secretary, Roger Payne (BMGuide) of course had a new, high profile job, arranged and waiting for him in the UIAA when he finally left the BMC.
Contrary to recent BMC statements that there is no intention of enticing into the potentially dangerous sport of climbing, vulnerable young people (against the letter of the Young Persons Safety Act 1995), there is every intention of further enticing.
