What work opportunities
does climbing have to offer? We interviewed six people who work in the
industries to find out more.
Getting into climbing
can open up a number of different career paths and work opportunities, such as:
instruction, industrial rope access and a huge number of jobs in outdoor retail
and the related industries. Being able to show and prove you have an interest
in climbing and the outdoors increases your employability in these sectors
massively.
So let's delve into
these sectors a little.
Instructing and Coaching
There are many levels of
qualification which can allow you to work within a climbing wall, take groups
on small or large cliffs, and lead people across mountains in Britain and
abroad. You can work for yourself, a climbing wall or for outdoor centres. The
work may involve training people in key skills from belaying to learning
navigation, coaching movement techniques, route setting, guiding people up
famous rock and ice climbs like Flying Buttress on Dinas Cromlech or Point Five
Gully on the Ben Nevis.
