Must read campus board advice from the BMC

The BMC has issued guidance on campus board use.

The guidance has been issued following the recent BMC Climbing Injury Symposium after concerns that people, especially young people, may not be aware of the risks of using such apparatus.

The guidance is based on our current state of medical and physiological knowledge about fingers and growth plate development.

Head over to the BMC for the full story.

Take care of your fingers because once you injure them, you’ll have recurring problems that may hinder your climbing for life.
