Maniowskie Stowarzyszenie Wspinaczkowe

Maniowskie Stowarzyszenie Wspinaczkowe (MSW) is a community climbing association based in Maniowy, near Lake Czorsztyn in the Podhale region of Poland. Founded by climbers seeking to create a local place to train, it welcomes children, young people and adults, from beginners to more experienced climbers. Its safe, professionally prepared climbing wall supports recreational climbing and bouldering as well as regular skills development.

MSW runs scheduled climbing sessions for different age groups, including children from age four, teenagers and adults. Members can also use strength-training facilities, conditioning equipment and a library of climbing guidebooks. The association hosts workshops, strength tests, community gatherings and group trips to outdoor climbing areas, while offering opportunities for newcomers to try the sport at open events.

More than a training venue, MSW fosters a supportive local community. Its activities promote physical fitness, focus, perseverance and social connection, and the association works to develop climbing facilities in the region. Donations help improve the training space and support sports activities for children and young people.
