______  ______ (Initial here when read and understood)

______  ______1.  RISKS
I understand that there is a significant risk of serious physical injury, death and other damages inherent in indoor and outdoor climbing, bouldering and physical fitness training activities and in my use of PBP facilities and instruction relating to these activities.  These risks and hazards can include, but are not limited to, injuries arising from falling and striking objects or other people; being struck by falling objects or people; failure of any part or all of the climbing structures, flooring systems, building or training and fitness apparatus; defective, worn, uneven, separated or additional flooring or pads; hazards created by additional pads; falling and failing to land on a pad; landing on a pad and nonetheless suffering an injury; falling and landing in a gap within or between pads or between pads and the wall; failure and/or breakage of climbing holds; failure of climbing hold anchoring systems and hardware; failure of anchoring systems, anchors and belay devices used to secure climbing anchors and ropes; falling because of improper use of ropes and safety equipment; injury resulting from lack of spotting, inadequate spotting or other spotting-related injury; injuries related to fitness training classes including without limitation yoga classes; risks associated with walking on streets and sidewalks to access PBP facilities; strained or sprained muscles, joints and connective tissue; broken bones; personal injury including paralysis, death, illness, property damage, and other losses.  I further understand that some PBP facilities may be available 24 hours a day, and that some of those operating times may be without staff supervision or observation of PBP facilities and that I may encounter additional risks during that time.  Injury or death can arise from errors in judgment, from lack of training or information, from the negligence of me, employees or agents of PBP or other parties, as well as the risks normally associated with athletic endeavors.  There is no way to eliminate the risk of serious harm or death. I understand that my use of PBP facilities and any instruction or knowledge I obtain at those facilities IS NOT sufficient to prepare me for the dangers and risks of indoor and outdoor climbing.

______  ______2. I ASSUME ALL RISKS.
I CERTIFY THAT I UNDERSTAND CLIMBING, BOULDERING AND PHYSICAL FITNESS TRAINING ACTIVITIES, EXPOSE ME TO A HIGH RISK OF INJURY OR ACCIDENT.  I KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY ASSUME ALL RISKS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THOSE ENUMERATED IN THIS DOCUMENT, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, OF INJURY, ILLNESS, DEATH OR DAMAGE OF WHATEVER KIND ARISING OUT OF MY USE OF PBP FACILITIES OR EQUIPMENT OR MY PARTICIPATION IN ANY ACTIVITY AT PBP FACILITIES OR SPONSORED BY PBP.


______  ______3.  I WAIVE AND RELEASE ALL CLAIMS.
I recognize that PBP could not offer this activity without obtaining a release of liability.  In consideration of, and part payment for the right to use PBP’s facilities, I RELEASE PBP AND ANYONE ASSOCIATED WITH PBP, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, STAFF, INSTRUCTORS, MEMBERS, AGENTS, GUESTS AND THIRD PARTIES, FROM ALL LIABILITY, AND KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS OR CAUSES OF ACTION OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY CLAIMS OF NEGLIGENCE, WHICH MAY ARISE AS A RESULT OF MY PARTICIPATION IN A PBP-SPONSORED ACTIVITY OR FROM USE OF PBP FACILITIES OR EQUIPMENT.  

______  ______4.  I WILL INDEMNIFY PBP.
In consideration of, and in part payment for the right to use PBP’s facilities, I agree to defend, protect, INDEMNIFY, and hold harmless PBP, its owners, officers, directors, members, instructors, employees, agents and guests from and against any and all claims, suits, actions at law or in equity, for damages or other relief and against any liability of any nature, together with attorneys' fees and costs incurred, that may arise out of my use of PBP property or facilities, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INJURIES ARISING FROM MY VIOLATION OF PBP RULES.  I agree to pay the reasonable attorneys' fees and all other costs of all parties if I bring a suit for injuries suffered at PBP and that action is unsuccessful, in whole or in part. Additionally, in consideration of, and part payment for my right to participate in a PBP-sponsored activity, I EXPRESSLY AGREE NOT TO SUE OR OTHERWISE ASSERT LEGAL CLAIMS AGAINST PBP, ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, INSTRUCTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS AND GUESTS AND HEREBY WAIVE ALL CLAIMS AND LIABILITIES AGAINST PBP AND THOSE PARTIES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CLAIMS FOR NEGLIGENCE ARISING FROM MY (OR THE MINOR’S) PARTICIPATION IN CLIMBING ACTIVITIES OR USE OF PBP FACILITIES OR EQUIPMENT. 
 
______  ______5.  I AGREE TO ABIDE BY ALL PBP RULES.
I agree to abide by all PBP rules contained in written form as well as verbal directions that may be given by PBP staff or employees. I MAY NOT USE PBP FACILITIES IF I AM UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL OR OTHER DRUGS.

I certify that I have no physical limitations or medical conditions that would impair my ability to fully and safely use PBP facilities.  I agree to inform PBP of any conditions that may have any effect on my ability to fully and safely use PBP facilities, so that a determination can be made as to the proper course of action.
