Parental Consent for Climbing Activities

Parental Consent for Climbing Activities at Climbing Hut Shrewsbury for Action Walls, Tall Walls and Bouldering

The following information will be used to complete a document that you will then read and sign. Please complete the following form to create this document for each child. If the parent or legal guardian also wishes to participate you MUST complete the relevant registration for for your climbing activity.

This includes;

  • Action Walls Registration Form for Supervised Adults (Action Walls Only)
  • Adult Registration Form (For Tall Walls and Bouldering)
  • Adult Novice and Under 18 Supervised Roped Climbing & Bouldering (for Tall Walls and Bouldering Only) 

We know this may take a little bit of time initially but you only need to do this ONCE per child should you want to use the centre again

 

ABC Participation Statement

"All climbing and bouldering activities have a risk of serious injury or death. Participants must be aware of and accept that even if they follow all good practice there may still be the risk of accident and injury. It is the responsibility of the participant to adhere to the conditions of use." 

It is important that you understand this document. There is inherent risk involved with climbing centres and associated activities. By signing this form, you are stating you understand that these risks cannot be completely removed. If you do not understand any of the terminology or content, ask a member of staff to clarify. 

 

General Safety

  • Report to reception on each visit before you climb.
  • You must exercise care, common sense and self-preservation at all times.
  • Report any problems with the walls, equipment or other climbers' behaviour to a member of staff immediately. This is particularly important with broken or spinning holds. 
  • Be aware of the other climbers around you and how your actions will affect them.
  • Do not distract people while they are climbing or belaying. 
  • Never stand directly underneath someone who is climbing. 
  • If you have children, you must keep them under control and supervise them directly at all times. Be close enough to affect or control the child's behaviour at all times. 
  • Please make yourself aware of the location of the fire exits in the building and fire assembly points. 

As a user of this climbing wall, you must be aware of and accept the following: 

  • Volumes on the walls are designed to enhance the quality of climbing but you must be aware of and accept that when climbing above them there is an additional risk of falling onto them. 
  • Climbing beyond your capabilities on any wall is likely to result in a fall. Any fall may result in an injury despite the safety systems in place. You must make your own assessment of the risks whenever you climb. 
  • Participants must understand that climbing while pregnant can increase the risk posed to mother and unborn child. 
  • Participants must be aware and accept that climbing holds can spin or break 
  • You must do everything reasonable and practical to avoid endangering yourself or others. 
  • You have to be aware of and adhere to the safety rules of the centre at all times. 
  • Stand back from the climbing walls unless you are belaying or spotting a climber. 
  • You take responsibility for adequately maintaining your equipment. 
  • Please empty your pockets and remove all jewellery before climbing. 

 

Top Rope Climbing 

  • Always use a climbing harness to attach yourself to the rope tying the rope directly into the harness using a figure of 8 knot with a stopper, or a bowline knot with a stopper. 
  • Clipping in with a carabiner is not advised. 
  • Many of the climbs in the centre have top ropes already in place. Do not take them down or move them. 
  • It is your responsibility to vet your climbing partner's ability before they belay you. 

 

Lead Climbing 

  • Lead belaying requires a higher degree of skill and understanding from top rope belaying and should only be undertaken if you have received training or are competent to do so. If you are unsure do not climb and ask a staff member for available instruction at the centre. 
  • When using the lead walls, you must supply or rent (if available) your own appropriately rated dynamic rope. 
  • Quickdraws/runners/clips are provided on the lead wall. Please don't use your own. 
  • You must not skip clips and clips must be clipped in order. ​

 

When Belaying 

  • Always abide by good practice when belaying. 
  • Always use a belay device attached to your climbing harness with a locking carabiner as per manufacturers' guidelines. 'Traditional', or 'body', belaying is not acceptable. 
  • To ensure your partner's safety, pay attention to what the climber is doing. 
  • Always stand as close to the climbing wall as is practical. Sitting or lying down is not acceptable. 

 

Auto Belays 

  • If you are unsure in any way on how to use an auto belay, or have never used one before, then ask a member of staff for assistance before using one. 
  • The coloured box (usually yellow or red) on the ground around the auto belays is a landing zone; be aware of descending climbers when standing within it. 
  • Good practice instructions are located next/near to the auto belay. To ensure your own safety, please follow these instructions.
