WAIVER:
Our permit requires us to have hard copies of waivers on-site. Please plan to arrive a few minutes early to review and fill out the waiver. Participants under 18 will need a parent or guardian to fill out the waiver and must be present for the entire course.
COVID-19:
We’ve been working closely with the Parks Service to ensure responsible recreation during the COVID-19 pandemic. We’re keeping classes small, limiting shared gear and touch points and increasing sanitation on those that are impossible to avoid, encouraging social distancing, and requiring masks when social distancing is impossible. Please do not come to class if you have been in contact with a confirmed COVID-19 case and/or if you have any of the following symptoms: fever, cough/sore throat, shortness of breath, new loss of taste or smell; contact us and we’ll work it out.
RAIN POLICY:
Outdoor courses are held rain or shine; instructors make the final judgement if weather conditions make it impossible to continue. Weather moves quickly in our region, the rock type dries quickly, and climbing in light rain is both possible and fun--as long as you bring a rain jacket. We will notify you ahead of time if the weather forecast makes rescheduling likely. We will pause courses in progress for lighting or for excessive heat (over 100 degrees). Rescheduled courses rained out before 12pm will receive a rain check.
