Fun questions, new connections. This event is perfect for new members (but any members are welcome!) looking to connect with fellow climbers or lovers of the outdoors. Come alone or bring a friend! Advanced sign-up encouraged as space is limited.

How it works: For the first half participants will rotate through short guided one-on-one conversations. Then intermission, snacks on us. In the second half guests will engage in facilitated group games of “community jenga."

RELEASE OF LIABILITY, WAIVER OF CLAIMS, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, COVENANT NOT TO SUE AND HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
What you are about to read and are requested to sign is a waiver and release of liability. Upon signing it, you will give up your right to sue  Boston Bouldering Project, LLC (“BP”) or anyone associated with BP for injuries or losses you or your minor children/wards suffer while  using BP facilities or while participating in activities at BP facilities, including but not limited to facilities at 12A Tyler Street in Somerville,  Massachusetts.

Sign the document only after you have read and understand everything. If you have  any questions about the agreement, consult your attorney. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY ACTIVITIES WITH BP OR AT BP FACILITIES WITHOUT THE SIGNED WAIVER.
I UNDERSTAND THAT SIGNING THIS DOCUMENT WILL PREVENT ME, MY HEIRS, EXECUTORS, DEPENDENTS, BENEFICIARIES AND  ASSIGNS FROM SUING BP, ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR GUESTS FOR ANY INJURIES,  INCLUDING DEATH AND PARALYSIS, OR DAMAGES THAT I MIGHT RECEIVE WHILE PARTICIPATING IN ANY ACTIVITIES WITH BP OR AT  BP FACILITIES.

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 BP 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; 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, safety, and training or exercise equipment; injury resulting from lack of spotting, inadequate spotting, belaying or  other spotting or belaying-related injury; injuries related to fitness training classes including without limitation yoga classes; risks  associated with walking on streets and sidewalks to access BP 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 BP  facilities may be available 24 hours a day, and that some of those operating times may be without staff supervision or observation of BP  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 BP 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 BP 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 BP FACILITIES OR EQUIPMENT OR MY PARTICIPATION IN ANY ACTIVITY AT BP FACILITIES OR SPONSORED  BY BP. 

3. WAIVE AND RELEASE ALL CLAIMS.
I recognize that BP could not offer this activity without obtaining a release of liability. In consideration of, and part payment for the right  to use BP’s facilities or participate in BP activities, I RELEASE BP AND ANYONE ASSOCIATED WITH BP, 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 (BUT EXCLUDING CLAIMS FOR GROSS  NEGLIGENCE), WHICH MAY ARISE AS A RESULT OF MY (OR THE MINOR’S) USE OF BP FACILITIES OR EQUIPMENT OR PARTICIPATION  IN A BP-SPONSORED ACTIVITY.

4. I WILL INDEMNIFY BP. 
In consideration of, and in part payment for the right to use BP’s facilities or participate in BP activities, I agree to defend, protect,  INDEMNIFY, and hold harmless BP, 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 BP property or facilities or participate in BP  activities, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INJURIES ARISING FROM MY VIOLATION OF BP 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 BP and that action is unsuccessful, in whole or in part.  Additionally, in consideration of, and part payment for my right to participate in a BP-sponsored activity, I EXPRESSLY AGREE NOT TO SUE  BP, ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, INSTRUCTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS AND GUESTS AND HEREBY WAIVE ALL  CLAIMS AND LIABILITIES AGAINST BP AND THOSE PARTIES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CLAIMS FOR NEGLIGENCE ARISING  FROM MY (OR THE MINOR’S) PARTICIPATION IN CLIMBING ACTIVITIES OR USE OF BP FACILITIES OR EQUIPMENT.
