WHAT IS NICAS?
The National Indoor Climbing Award Scheme is a UK scheme designed to promote climbing development and accredit individual achievement on indoor climbing walls. It's a great starting point for young climbers wishing to take up climbing, from novice to experienced, starting from age 7.
