climbing is a dangerous recreational activity with obvious risks — you are participating at your own risk.

risk warning.

Bouldering, rock climbing, slack lining & the use of hang-boards & other rock climbing & strength training equipment are dangerous recreational activities which involve inherent, incidental & significant risks including, but not limited to, uncontrolled falling, collision with objects, walls, climbing holds, unprotected floors & other patrons as well as stress & overuse injuries as the result of improper technique or excessive strain. The activities may cause death, physical injuries (including fractures, hyperextension, overuse injuries, cuts & abrasions, sprains & brain trauma) & psychological injuries (including panic attacks, hyperventilation & associated heart conditions).

obvious risk notice.
