These guidelines apply to activities conducted on artificial walls or structures that are either indoors or outdoors, fixed or mobile. Artificial walls can also be used for bouldering, which is traversing along the lower level of a climbing wall or structure at a height not greater than two metres.
Artificial walls are used to support the activity of ascending objects secured to a human-made wall or other structure. Artificial walls can also be used for abseiling, that is, descending with ropes and associated equipment.
