UIAA Mountaineering Commission meeting


Night out in Novi Sad

The UIAA Mountaineering Commission met in Novi Sad, April 20-21st, hosted by the Serbian Mountaineering Federation. We made good prgress on several issues, notably the regulations for the Training Label, which takes the successful Training Standards to its logical format and introduces a pricing structure for a sustainable operation worldwide.
Another interesting development was clear support worldwide for protecting areas for adventure climbing, i.e.without bolt protection.
The traditional values working party is chaired by the celbrated mountaineer Doug Scott, and there are clear implications for training since the skills of leader placed protection can be taught, thereby empowering climbers to manage their own protection on climbs.
The possibility of setting up a "nut fund" to complement bolt funds was also discussed, as in some countries leader-placed equipment is hard to obtain.
