Nick Parkin and Jez Tapping recently sat down with Callum from Euro Climbing News to talk all things Global Climbing Standard.
They discussed why GCS was created, how it works, and the ambition behind it: to create a clearer, more consistent way of supporting climber development across the industry.
Euro Climbing News described GCS as a fully digital, portable way of tracking a climber's development from novice to athlete, wherever they end up climbing. The conversation covered how the framework works day to day, the coach training that sits behind it, and the business model funding it all.
"For gyms, regions and national bodies lacking a structured climbing education pathway, the GCS is well worth looking into."
