NICAS Wild Climbers is a fun game-filled scheme available for age 3 to 6. It aims to introduce early years climbers safely into the indoor climbing environment.
NICAS Climbing is for all climbers aged 7 to 70 and beyond. This nationally recognised scheme takes you from novice to experienced indoor climber, progressing through five levels. Many thousands of climbers have learnt the ropes with NICAS Climbing.
