New USAC x CWA Certification Integration

For U.S.-based routesetters, certifications are about to get a new twist.

Routesetting certifications aren’t new. USA Climbing has been certifying routesetters for all levels of competition routesetting for nearly two decades. The Climbing Wall Association has been certifying climbing wall workers on industry best practices for work at height since 2016.

What is new is the integration of those two certification programs.

In our latest online discussion, we talked with Jeremy Ho about the upcoming integration of the USA Climbing and Climbing Wall Association certification programs, what it means for USAC’s Levels and the CWA’s PRS certifications, what it means for the industry… and what it means for you!
