A group of climbing instructors in a brightly coloured climbing wall looking at a variety of rope works to assist inclusion

Today’s office. Delivering Climbing for All training in my penultimate climbing wall in Ireland for 2024. I have now delivered inclusion training in every major climbing wall in Ireland from Derry to Cork and Dublin to Limerick. #ClimbingForAll #Inclusion

Some of the climbing holds on this multi coloured wall are really hard to see. White on white for example.

If you have limited vision, colour blindness etc many holds disappear. This is the same image as the previous one, just in Black and White.

Using plastic panels. ( these are sweet and biscuit tub lids with the rims cut off and the edges sandpapered) The (top) yellow on blue, and (bottom) white on red holds are now highly visible

Visual Impairment and Climbing wall instructor inclusion
Colour contrast can make a big difference to accessibility But it’s often difficult to route set on a multi coloured wall One simple solution is to use a contrasting panel between the hold and wall of light plastic #Inclusion. #ClimbingForAll
