UCP Marjon Climbing Wall Floor Walker Training; LA 10/10
4. Group Leader Inductions This will include: • Show them the wall and facilities (e.g. changing rooms/toilets) • In the wall area provide a verbal outline of the ‘conditions of use’. In particular: o Groups can stash their kit under the benches therefore leaving the wall area ‘clutter free’ o Identify the height limit for bouldering and traversingexplain this is a maximum and depending on their group they may choose to adopt a lower height limit o No harnesses to be worn when bouldering/traversing o Explain that there is a gap behind the bouldering wall so groups must not attempt to climb beyond the top of the bouldering wall o They need to keep an eye on the bouldering mat and ensure that it remains pushed up against the wall o We have a ‘tying in’ policy i.e. all climbers need to be tied in rather than clipped in. o The wall ropes are only to be used for top roping. If they are removed for any reason then they need to be replaced through both karabiners at the top at the end of the session. o The far left hand routes are only to be used for leading purposes o All under 18s are required to wear a helmet o We operate a 1:9 ratio (one instructor to 9 group members o When they are instructing a group they need to stay on the floor i.e. they cannot climb when they are responsible for a group o They need to stay within the remit of their qualifications • Ensure they understand what to do in an emergency • Take a copy of the instructor(s) climbing qualification, first aid and a copy of the insurance certificate the instructor will be working under. These copies are then placed in the file in the pockets entitled ‘Instructor Documents’. The relevant information then needs to be written on the front of the pocket. • Explanation of what to do upon arrival and departure (collecting key, submitting register, documents)
