The Climbing Hub

Under 18 Supervised Climber Registration Form


Review The Climbing Hub's Privacy Policy

Conditions of Use:

  • BMC Participation Statement - “The British Mountaineering Council recognises that climbing and mountaineering are activities with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants in these activities should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions and involvement.”
  • 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, the rules and acknowledge the risk.'

 

The Climbing Hub is an artificial climbing, bouldering and gym environment. By signing this waiver, you are acknowledging that the risks involved are no less serious than the risks associated when climbing outside, and in fact there are additional risk involved with artificial walls such as bolt-on holds spinning or breaking. You must alert a member of staff is you are made aware of any specific risks.

The soft flooring under the bouldering walls is designed to provide a more comfortable landing for climbers falling or jumping from the bouldering wall. However, it must be noted that- THE SOFT FLOORING DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOUR SAFETY. In both Bouldering and Roped Climbing, uncontrolled falls are likely to result in injuries to yourself or others. 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 to avoid it. Amateur use of the gym, yoga and training facilities can also result in injury. Individuals must make their own assessment of the risks whenever they climb or train.

 

Our Duty of Care - The rules of the climbing centre set out below are not intended to limit your enjoyment of the facilities. They are part of the duty of care that we, as operators, owe to you, the customer, by law. As such they are not negotiable and if you are not prepared to abide by them then the staff must politely ask you to leave.

 

Your Duty of Care - You also have a duty of care to act responsibly towards the other users of the centre. Statements of ‘Good Practice’ are posted around the centre adjacent to the relevant facilities. These describe the accepted methods of use and how customers would normally be expected to behave towards each other.

 

Unsupervised Climbing - Before you climb without supervision the centre expects you to be competent in the basic safety knowledge required to use the centre.

  • Avoid uncontrolled falls. Descend either by down-climbing or at least a controlled fall.
  • Keep the matting free of objects and obstructions like bags, clothing, chalk bags, brushes, bottles, keys etc.
  • Do not sit or stand under the wall when people are bouldering.
  • Spotting involves helping someone to control their fall, not trying to catch them. Do not attempt to spot someone unless you feel confident to do it properly. Make sure the climber wants you to spot them.
  • You are required to register to say that you know how to use the equipment, that you are prepared to abide by the Rules and that you understand the risks involved in your participation.
  • Anyone who wishes to climb must first register. They will be recorded as a supervised or unsupervised climber. Supervised members must always be signed in and supervised by an Over 18 unsupervised member whilst in the centre.

 

Supervised Climbing -

An adult who has registered as an Over 18 Unsupervised member at the centre may supervise up to two novice climbers if they are prepared to take full responsibility for the safety of those people. Groups of three or more novices must only be supervised by an instructor holding the relevant Mountain Leader Training qualification.

Under 18s - All children in the centre must be supervised by an Over 18 Unsupervised member unless they have been assessed by the management and registered for unsupervised climbing, which is authorised by parents. This can only happen for those 14 or over.

 

As an Unsupervised climber, you are expected to have a good basis of knowledge that will help keep yourself and other safe within the centre. Staff will provide whatever help and advice they can, but instruction in the use of equipment or climbing techniques will only be provided where it has been booked and paid for in advance. If you are not confident in the use of any climbing equipment or technique, then do not attempt to use it without the supervision of someone who is competent to do so. Where equipment is provided for use to an unsupervised, registered climber, it is up to the user to ensure that they are familiar with the equipment and can use it safely.

 

RULES OF THE WALL

General Safety

  • Individuals must report to reception upon arrival of each visit.
  • 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.
  • Be aware of the other climbers around you and how your actions will affect them.
  • Do not distract people while they are climbing, belaying or supervising.
  • Stand well back from the climbing walls unless you are spotting a climber. Never stand directly under someone who is climbing and ensure the climbing zone is free from any hazards.

 

Bouldering

  • Always climb within your capabilities and descend by down climbing or at the very least, a controlled fall.
  • Never climb directly above or below another climber
  • Do not climb over the top
  • Watch out for falling climbers
  • Keep all belongings off the matting excluding chalk bags. This includes bottles, tape, clothing, bags, carabiners, keys, phones etc.

 

Autobelays - Anyone wishing to use the Auto belays must inform a staff member the first time they wish to use them. Before you climb on the Auto belays- Unsupervised you must be competent in the basic safety knowledge required to use them safely:

  • You MUST have been signed off at Reception to use the Auto Belays.
  • Supervised Under 18s and Supervised Over 18s must always be supervised whilst using the Auto Belays
  • Check the climbing harness is correctly fitted and tightened.
  • Check Auto Belay operation by pulling out a short section and allowing it to retract.
  • Check the carabiner from the Auto Belay line is connected to the designated loop on the climbing harness and the gate is properly closed.
  • Ensure the carabiner latch gate is facing away from the climber.
  • Never climb alongside or above the Auto Belay.
  • Never start descent from above the Auto Belay.
  • Prior to descent, ensure descent path and landing area are free of people and obstructions.
  • Always descend feet first using feet to fend off obstacles and prepare for landing.
  • If the Auto Belay line fails to retract during climbing, stop climbing immediately and request assistance.
  • Do not stand or walk under someone using an Auto Belay.

 

Roped Climbing

When Climbing -

  • Please ensure you identify if your chosen route is a top rope or lead route. Solo climbing on top rope or lead climbs is not acceptable; always use a rope to protect yourself on these climbs.
  • Always use a climbing harness to attach yourself to the rope.
  • Always tie directly into the harness using a figure of eight knot with a stopper. No other knots are acceptable within The Climbing Hub facility.
  • Never climb directly above or below another climber and ensure you keep all landing zones clear.

When Belaying

  • Novices must not belay without on the ground supervision by their supervisor backing up the brake rope.
  • Always use a belay device attached to your climbing harness with a locking karabiner. ‘Traditional’ or ‘body’ belaying is not acceptable.
  • Weight-bags are available to provide further support to individuals belaying a climber who is much heavier than they are. However, they do not eradicate the risks involved.
  • Always pay attention to what the climber is doing.
  • Always stand as close to the climbing wall as is practical.

 

Lead Climbing

  • Do not use your own ‘quick draws’ to lead the top rope walls.
  • When using the lead walls, you must supply your own appropriately rated dynamic rope. Do not use the centre’s top ropes for lead climbing.
  • Running belay attachments (runners) are already provided at intervals on the lead walls. You must identify the line which your route follows and clip all the runners.
  • If seconding a climb, the second climber should be protected from uncontrolled swings by appropriately clipped quickdraws.
  • The rope MUST be securely fixed to the lower-off anchor.

 

Data Protection:
