Many owners and occupiers of land are happy to give access for rock climbing but others are reluctant because of perceived and misunderstood concerns over legal liabilities.
To address these concerns the British Mountaineering Council (BMC) has published a leaflet for all owners and occupiers of land on which there are cliffs, crags, quarries or outcrops suitable for rock climbing.
The guidance applies to England and Wales and explains existing legislation affecting obligations of landowners and occupiers, and the actual risks associated with rock climbing, to help address these concerns.
