Participant Agreement

Know the risks > Sign the Participant Agreement

Rock climbing is great fun, good exercise and mentally challenging. Reaching the top of a cliff, one might find herself smiling in triumph, sweating from exertion, or silently thinking "how on earth did I do that?"

Indoor rock climbing shares these same qualities but with added conveniences: No rain, no darkness and no cold! Indoor rock climbing does, however, share some of the same risks of outdoor rock climbing. Consequently climbers must know what they're doing, know the risks, and know the consequences.

  • All climbers (each individual) must have a seperate and completed Participant Agreement on file with Sportrock before they are allowed to climb.
  • Climbers under the age of 18 must have their parent's signature on their Participant Agreement before climbing.
  • If you wish not to wear a helmet, please sign the helmet waiver.
  • If you have no prior climbing experience, please call the gym first for information. The staff can tell you more about our services and how they best suit you.
  • Participant Agreements MAY NOT be faxed or emailed in and will not be accepted in those formats.
  • Please be sure to follow Sportrock's rules and staff instructions at all times. Your well-being and gym safety are our foremost concerns.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY and FILL IN ALL REQUESTED INFORMATION prior to coming to Sportrock! Incorrect or incomplete agreements WILL NOT be accepted. We DO NOT accept faxed agreements.

Testimonials

FFX was a weekly ass-kicking that ground me into shape, motivated me to work longer and harder, and showed me that I could push a lot harder than I had previously thought.  It taught me a number of exercise skills and techniques that I'd always ignored and gave me a good foundation on which to structure my own workouts after I left the DC area. It was also fun -- admittedly in that sweaty, gasping-for-breath, muscle-burn kind of way.  DC isn't known for its proximity to long rock climbs and FFX helped fill the gap left after gym-bouldering and climbing short routes at the Gunks and the NRG; enough so that I made it up the Regular Northwest Face of Half Dome (5.9, C1, 23 pitches) in under 14 hours this past fall.
