Climbing
 

It is completely impractical for indoor climbing equipment to have 6' of protective surfacing in every direction. Children having the opportunity to climb in their child care centers. Learning to climb is actually how children are able to learn how to be safe. Please consider how we can support more indoor climbing opportuntiies and don't make it harder.
