I am requesting to participate in indoor climbing and bouldering operated by [Business Name] ("the Company"). I understand that climbing requires me to manage my own safety checks and that falling is a routine part of the activity.

I confirm that my participation is entirely voluntary, that no one has pressured me to take part, and that I may stop participating at any time if I believe conditions are unsafe or beyond my ability.

I understand that indoor climbing and bouldering involves inherent risks that cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken by the Company, and that those risks include, but are not limited to:

•Ground falls while bouldering, including onto padded surfaces

•Ankle, wrist, knee, and spinal injury from uncontrolled landings

•Falling from height due to belay error, knot failure, or incorrect clipping

•Failing to attach to an auto-belay before leaving the ground

•Being struck by a falling climber, dropped equipment, or a swinging rope

•Rope burn, finger pulley injury, shoulder strain, and overuse injury

•Holds spinning, breaking, or loosening during a climb

•Serious bodily injury, permanent disability, paralysis, and death

I have read this list, I understand it, and I knowingly and voluntarily accept every one of these risks, including risks that may arise from the negligence of others or that are not specifically listed above.

I agree to follow all posted rules, safety briefings, and instructions given by [Business Name] staff, including:

•Completing a partner check of harness, knot, and belay device before every climb

•Belaying only if you hold current certification from this facility

•Confirming attachment to the auto-belay before leaving the ground every time

•Keeping landing zones clear and not walking or sitting beneath climbers

•Minors climbing only under the supervision level required by the facility

I understand that failing to follow the rules may result in my removal from the activity without a refund.

I agree to inspect any equipment provided to me before use and to immediately report anything that appears damaged, worn, or unsafe. If I choose to use the equipment, I am confirming that I accept it in its current condition.

I accept responsibility for the reasonable cost of repair or replacement of equipment that is lost, stolen, or damaged beyond normal wear while it is in my care.

I confirm that I am physically able to take part in this activity and that I have disclosed any medical condition, injury, allergy, pregnancy, or medication that could affect my safety or the safety of others.

Conditions to disclose: ______________________________________________

In the event of an injury or medical emergency, I authorize the Company to arrange first aid, emergency transport, and medical treatment on my behalf, and I accept financial responsibility for the cost of that care.

To the fullest extent permitted by the laws of [State], I release, waive, and discharge [Business Name], its owners, officers, employees, contractors, volunteers, agents, and property owners (together, "the Released Parties") from any and all claims, demands, damages, costs, and causes of action of any kind arising out of my participation in this activity, including those caused by the ordinary negligence of the Released Parties.

I agree to indemnify and hold the Released Parties harmless from any claim brought by me, by anyone acting on my behalf, or by a third party as a result of my conduct during the activity.

This release is binding on me, my heirs, my personal representatives, and my estate.

I confirm that I am the parent or legal guardian of the minor named below and that I have full legal authority to sign this agreement on the minor's behalf.

I have explained the risks described above to the minor in terms the minor can understand.

I am signing it freely, without inducement, and I intend it to be as broad and inclusive as the law allows. If any part of this agreement is found unenforceable, the remaining parts stay in full force.
