ASSUMPTION OF RISKS, AND WAIVER, RELEASE AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT Please read this agreement carefully. The persons signing it will, among other things, give up their right to sue City Rock, LLC (“The Center”), and anyone associated with The Center for injuries or other losses suffered while on the premises of The Center or while participating in activities or events involving The Center. This agreement must be signed by each adult (eighteen years and older) visitor or, if the visitor is a minor, by a parent or legal guardian of the minor. The parent or guardian (referred to as “Parent”) signs and agrees for themselves and on behalf of the minor visitor. As used in this agreement, "Visitor" or “I/me/my” refers to the adult visitor who signs this agreement, and to the minor visitor on whose behalf it is signed. In consideration of The Center permitting me to enter its premises, participate in climbing or other activities or events at or involving The Center, I understand, acknowledge, and agree as follows: ASSUMPTION OF RISKS 1. Activities offered by The Center include climbing indoors on artificial walls (including roped climbing with a belay partner, auto belaying and bouldering), rappelling, “slack lining,” “dry tooling” (simulated ice climbing), simulated caving, yoga, fitness classes and activities (including treadmills, free weights, and other exercise equipment), indoor games and obstacle courses, team building exercises, children’s play areas, and additional activities that may be offered by The Center from time to time (referred to as the “Activities”). I agree that it is my responsibility to ask staff of The Center if I have any questions about an Activity before participating in it. 2. I UNDERSTAND THAT MY PARTICIPATION IN OR OBSERVATION OF THE ACTIVITIES INVOLVES RISKS, INHERENT AND OTHERWISE, THAT COULD RESULT IN SEVERE PHYSICAL OR PSYCHOLOGICAL INJURY, DISABILITY, DEATH, AND DAMAGE TO MYSELF, TO PROPERTY, OR TO ANYONE ELSE, EVEN IF I FOLLOW THE RULES AND INSTRUCTIONS OF THE CENTER. 3. I understand that injuries of all types are a common and ordinary occurrence of the Activities, and that such risks cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the Activities. The risks involved in the Activities include, among other things: (1) injuries from falling or jumping off walls, play areas or other elevated structures, regardless of landing surface or height of fall; (2) injuries from falling onto uneven, worn, soft or hard landing surfaces; (3) being struck by or collisions with other people or objects; (4) user error and equipment failure (even if properly used); (5) misuse of belay systems and auto belay devices; (6) abrasions caused by ropes or other equipment; (7) injuries caused by the actions and inaction of others, including the inexperience, mistakes and negligence of belayers, co-participants, staff and other people; (8) overuse or overexertion injuries; (9) the development or aggravation of physical or mental health conditions, including fear of heights and confined spaces; (10) contracting illnesses while in The Center’s facilities; (11) risks associated with walking on streets and sidewalks to access The Center’s facilities; and (12) risks identified by The Center through written and oral rules, instructions and warnings. 4. The above description of risks does not include all possible risks associated with the Activities and does not limit the extent or scope of any part of this agreement. 5. If Visitor is a minor, I, Parent, have discussed the terms of this agreement, including the description of Activities and risks, with the minor, who understands them and still chooses to participate. 6. I understand that The Center may require me to complete instructional training or assessments for any given Activity; however,I agree that The Center shall have no duty to monitor my performance of the Activities. I, FOR MYSELF, AND, TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, FOR THE MINOR VISITOR: (A) UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MY ENTRY ONTO THE CENTER’S PREMISES, OR PARTICIPATION IN, OR OBSERVATION OF, ANY ACTIVITIES EXPOSES ME TO RISKS OF INJURY OR ACCIDENT; AND (B) ASSUME ALL RISKS, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF THE CENTER OR OTHERWISE, OF INJURY, ILLNESS, DISABILITY, DEATH OR DAMAGE OF WHATEVER KIND WHICH MAY BE SUFFERED BY ME ARISING FROM MY USE OF OR PRESENCE ON THE CENTER’S PREMISES, OR PARTICIPATION IN ANY ACTIVITIES OR EVENTS INVOLVING THE CENTER.

I UNDERSTAND THAT BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, I WAIVE AND SURRENDER MY RIGHTS, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE MINOR FOR WHOM I SIGN BELOW, TO MAKE A CLAIM OR FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE CENTER AND ANY OTHER RELEASED PARTY FOR PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, ILLNESS, WRONGFUL DEATH OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING THOSE CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE (BUT EXCLUDING CLAIMS OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE) OF THE CENTER OR OTHER RELEASED PARTY. INDEMNITY 1. If I am an adult Visitor or Parent of a minor Visitor, I further agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless (that is, to pay or reimburse damages and costs, including attorneys’ fees and insurance deductibles) The Center and the other Released Parties from any claims, suits, actions at law or in equity, for damages or other relief and against any liability of any nature, arising from or related to my, or the minor Visitor’s participation in any activities or other action or inaction while on The Center’s premises, including but not limited to any injuries or damages arising from my or the minor Visitor’s failure to follow The Center’s rules or instructions. 2.

I acknowledge that The Center does not have medical personnel on staff. I authorize The Center to stabilize, obtain medical care for, or transport me to a medical facility or hospital if medical attention is required or I am unable to make such decisions for myself.

I represent that I have no physical or mental health conditions that would limit my ability to participate in or increase the risks associated with the Activities. Examples of such conditions may include: epilepsy, diabetes, heart disease, past injuries/surgeries, and mental health conditions that may limit my ability to cope with being at heights or in confined spaces or having close personal contact with others. I agree to consult my health provider prior to participating in any Activity if I am unsure about my ability to participate. 3. I understand that the use of any drugs (prescription or otherwise) or alcohol while participating in any of the Activities could increase risks associated with them and that The Center is not responsible for monitoring my use of any such substance. 4.

I agree that any delay or failure by The Center to exercise any right or remedy under this agreement will not constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy. 8. I agree that this agreement will apply to my visit to the premises of The Center on the date on which it is signed and shall continue in effect to the fullest extent allowed by law, so that each time I use The Center’s facilities, services, or participate in any activity or event in which The Center is involved, I shall be bound by its terms. 9. GOVERNING LAW, EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION, AND WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. I agree that the terms of this agreement and any dispute between a Released Party and any Visitor will be governed by the substantive laws of the State of Colorado (not including laws which might apply the laws of another jurisdiction). In addition, I agree that any lawsuit or other dispute brought by or on behalf of any Visitor against any Released Party will take place solely in a federal or state court located in El Paso County, Colorado. I VOLUNTARILY WAIVE ANY RIGHT I MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY SUCH LAWSUIT. 10.

I agree that if any provision of this agreement or the application of any provision to any person or circumstance is held invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, the remainder of this agreement and the portion of such provision or application not held invalid, unenforceable or illegal, will remain in effect and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. 11.
