MOUNTAIN SPORTS
That this House notes the importance of mountaineering to the UK in terms of its status as an elite sport; further notes that mountaineering, rock-climbing and other mountain-related activities such as hill-walking enjoy high levels of participation across the country, hence making a major contribution to the country's health and fitness agenda; recognises the critical role played in the development of mountain sports culture by organisations such as the British Mountaineering Council and the Alpine Club; further recognises the particular importance of the city of Sheffield to the UK's mountain sports culture given its status as a world-class centre of rock-climbing; and places on record its support for Sheffield's ambition to promote further its mountain sports culture as an essential part of its sports and recreation on offer.
