Participation Agreement, Release and
Acknowledgment of Risk
(Unofficial Copy)

In consideration of the services of Sanctuary Rock Gym, its agents, owners, officers, volunteers, participants, employees and all other persons or entities acting in any capacity on their behalf (hereinafter collectively referred to as SRG), I hereby agree to release and discharge SRG, on behalf of myself, my children, my parents, my heirs, assigns, personal representative and estate as follows:


  1. I acknowledge that rock climbing on an artificial climbing wall entails known and unanticipated risks which could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, or damage to myself, to property, or to third parties. I understand that such risks simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity. The risks include, among other things: climbing on, or falling off, loose and/or damaged artificial holds, the artificial climbing structures, falling to the ground, on other users, or being fallen on by other users, abrasions from the walls, ropes, pads, or the floor, equipment failure, belay failure, or climbing out of control or beyond ones personal limits, the negligence of other climbers, visitors, participants, or other persons who may be present or my own negligence.
  2. I expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all of the risks existing in this activity. My participation in this activity is purely voluntary, and I elect to participate in spite of the risks.
  3. I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless SRG from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action, which are in any way connected with my participation in this activity or my use of SRG's equipment or facilities, including any such claims which allege negligent acts or omissions of SRG.
  4. Should SRG or anyone acting on their behalf, be required to incur attorney's fees and costs to enforce this agreement, I agree to indemnify and hold them harmless for all such fees and costs.
  5. I certify that I have health, accident and liability insurance to cover any bodily injury or property damage I may suffer while participating in this event, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage myself.

By signing this document, I acknowledge that if anyone is hurt or property is damaged during my participation in this activity, I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against SRG on the basis of any claim from which I release them herein.

I have had sufficient opportunity to read this entire document. I have read and understood it, and I agree to be bound by its terms.
