The undersigned ("Participant") desires to use the facilities, equipment or programs of EVO Rock + Fitness, Portland, LLC and Evolution Portland Properties, LLC (hereinafter "EVO"), 65 Warren Avenue, Portland, Maine 04103 ("Facility"). In consideration of EVO permitting me to use the Facility, I hereby agree to be bound by the terms of this Assumption of Risks, Release of Liability and Indemnification and by the provisions of the Rules and Regulations of EVO, a copy of which has been delivered to the Participant at the time that this Release is executed and delivered by the Participant (together, the "Release"). I hereby acknowledge, accept and agree that the sport of rock climbing, the use of EVO's climbing wall and other facilities (collectively, the “Facilities”) and participation in activities, programs and trips offered by EVO (collectively, “Programs”) involve inherent and significant risks. I am satisfied as to the information I have received regarding the Facilities and Programs and have had the opportunity to ask any questions that I wished and received thorough answers to my questions. I have examined the Facilities Program information and am aware that there are significant risks associated with rock climbing, the use of the Facilities and participation in Programs, including but not limited to: 1. All manner of injury resulting from my falling off or from the Wall or climbing site, hitting the floor or ground, wall faces and features, climbing holds, people or rope projections, whether permanently or temporarily in place; 2. Rope abrasion, entanglement and any other injuries resulting from activities on or near the Wall, including but not limited to, climbing, belaying, rappelling, lowering on ropes, rescue systems, and any other rope techniques; 3. All manner of injury resulting from the actions, omissions or negligence of other participants, visitors or other persons who may be present including, but not limited to, falling climbers or dropped items, such as, but not limited to, ropes, climbing hardware, spinning or broken holds, other wall parts, falling rocks or other objects, climbing hardware or personal effects; 4. Cuts and abrasions resulting from skin contact with the Wall or any other surface; 5. Failure or misuse of ropes, harnesses, belaying equipment, climbing holds, anchor points, on any part of the Wall or climbing site; 6. Failure to follow EVO's posted rules and regulations, employee's instructions or failure to ask for information or assistance; 7.

I further acknowledge that the above list is not inclusive of all possible risks associated with the use of the Facilities or Program participation and I agree that such list in no way limits the extent or reach of this Release. If I see or hear anything which I believe to be questionable or dangerous, it is my responsibility to ask or inform EVO’s employees of the situation until it is corrected or satisfactorily answered. I certify that I have no medical, physical or other conditions that could interfere with my ability to belay and follow or give directions while climbing, belaying or any other activity within EVO. I have read, understand and agree to comply with EVO's rules and regulations. I understand that indoor rock climbing is not the same as outdoor climbing and that additional skills and training are necessary for outdoor climbing that cannot be acquired indoors. I agree to seek qualified instruction before attempting to climb outdoors. I further agree that I will not use the Facilities if I am feeling physically unwell, including but not limited to having a fever, cough, sore throat, stomach ache/intestinal distress, persistent headache or other physical symptoms consistent with any communicable disease known to me. Moreover, I will not use the Facilities if I know I have been exposed to someone diagnosed with COVID-19, or who is assumed to have COVID-19 under the current guidance from the Maine Center for Disease Control, unless (i) I have been symptom free for at least seventy-two (72) hours if I have had symptoms, AND it has been at least ten (10) days since my symptoms first occurred, AND it has been at least fourteen (14) days since my last contact with any person with a confirmed or suspected COVID-19 diagnosis; OR (ii) I have received a negative test result for COVID-19 from a licensed medical professional AND it has been at least fourteen (14) days since my last contact with any person with a confirmed or suspected COVID-19 diagnosis. If I choose not to wear a helmet, I agree to assume all risk of personal injury and death that may occur as a result of not wearing a helmet. EVO reserves the right to use any photograph or video taken at EVO or in the course of Programs for promotional materials, brochures, and/or website, whether in the course of open climbing, during a lesson, birthday party, private group or otherwise.
