Our Rules

Before beginning any sort of fitness regimen, check with your physician, particularly if you have had any sort of heart problems or other medical conditions that prevent you from being active. We do not have a medic on staff to help. If you are injured, you must seek your own medical treatment.

I understand that I am responsible for clipping myself into and rope your auto belay and/or clipping in any minor I am signing for.

All participants must agree to follow all gym rules, policies, and procedures. If anyone is not aware or has questions about gym rules, they must notify staff.

I UNDERSTAND THAT I AM NOT ALLOWED TO INSTRUCT OTHERS ON BELAY, BOULDERING, OR AUTO BELAY TECHNIQUES IN THE FACILITY
