Climbing Risk Warning

Climbing is inherently dangerous and involves risks that may result in serious injury, paralysis, or death. HEXROCK Climbing is committed to minimizing the inherent dangers of indoor rock climbing through staff training, facility design, equipment standards, and established safety procedures; however, these measures cannot eliminate all risks.

By entering the facility or participating in climbing and related activities, you acknowledge and voluntarily assume the risks associated with climbing.
