Our new guide to Occupiers' Liability will help both landowners and climbers to understand the legislation which affects landowners and occupiers, and the real rather than perceived risks associated with rock climbing.
GB Bouldering's Shauna Coxsey has recently put together a string of superb results, to sit second in the IFSC Bouldering World Cup; she'll be hard to beat at next month's British Bouldering Championships.

The BMC guide to occupiers' liability has been updated and refreshed, making it easier for landowners, managers and users to understand the legislation governing liability, and answers the concerns of landowners about the perceived liability risks associated with rock climbing on their land.
A few months ago sustainability expert Dan Firth approached the BMC with his idea for a new enterprise recycling climbing gear and in particular old rope. We thought his plans showed potential, and so we’ve been backing his efforts to research his business plan. Now the project is going live.
It’s an issue that every club with a hut is facing. As energy costs soar, how to keep hut fees at an acceptable level? At the recent AGM of the Alex MacIntyre Memorial Hut’s management committee a vote was taken to increase fees – but the future lies in reducing the energy needed to heat the building.
Another second place in Vail, Colorado at the weekend pushes Shauna Coxsey one place further up the rankings to second, hot on the heels of World Cup leader Anna Stohr and with just one event remaining.
Experienced Polish big wall climbers Marek Raganowicz and Marcin Tomaszewski have added a third route to the North Face of one of the world's most notable rock towers, Polar Sun Spire.
