The Climbing Gym Association (CGA) is a voluntary association of professionals who manage manufactured climbing walls. The mission is to promote responsible growth and professionalism within the climbing gym industry by providing support and educational services.

Over the past decade CGA has developed Industry Practices for construction and operation of these climbing facilities with an emphasis on risk management. The CGA has contracted with ASI to streamline its Accreditation Program that reviews if climbing facilities comply with Industry Practices.

Accredited climbing facilities get a variety of benefits including::

1. The likelihood of accidents being reduced through expert feedback that identifies potential problems before accidents happen.
2. A valuable marketing tool that reassures the public prudent steps have been taken to reduce risk.
3. Saving money if liability insurance is purchased through the CGA's Master Liability Policy. The 20% discount on premiums will more than cover the cost of Accreditation.
