Heads up: Parents only!

This form should only be filled in by a parent on behalf of a child.

Welcome to Indirock

Delighted to meet you.

Please do not print out this form – it needs to be completed online.

Any questions? We’re here to help. But seriously, please do not print out this form.

NB any adults supervising an under 18 will also need to register themselves through an adult waiver, even if not climbing.

Before signing our waiver, please watch our safety video here.

“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.”

Bouldering is a form of free climbing. It is unaccompanied climbing without ropes, up to a height of 4.5m indoors. Bouldering is hazardous, it involves climbing to height and there is no fall protection. Bouldering involves both falls from height to ground and the potential of injury from above. Despite the matting, a fall from height carries risk of severe injury.

Conditions of use

Our duty of care:

Below we’ve set out some rules designed to keep this young person and those around them as safe as reasonably possible. These aren’t intended to limit their fun! They’re just an important duty of care that we (Indirock) owe to you (the customer) by law. As such they are non-negotiable and if you/the young person are not prepared to abide by them then the staff must politely ask you to leave.

Need to know:

This young person must be supervised by an adult who has carried out a supervisor induction.

Alternatively, you may book onto a class or course at Indirock, where the instructor will supervise them.

They must:

agree to abide by the centre rules below.
follow all instructions from the supervisor.
climb in the same area as the supervisor.

You must take full responsibility for their safety as well as your own.

Please make sure that the young person in your care understands the following:

• You understand that the soft matting does not remove the risk of injury.

• Downclimb whenever possible. If this is not possible use a controlled planned jump. Our staff will demonstrate this to you the first time you climb.

• Injuries can still occur even after a controlled planned jump but are most likely after an uncontrolled fall.

• You should do your utmost to avoid the risk of uncontrolled falls.

• Pay attention to how you will land and always assess the risk of each climb that you undertake.

• It is your responsibility to ensure that you can climb down and land safely; don’t climb into a situation that you cannot get back down from.

• Be aware of what is happening above and around you and never climb directly above or below another climber.

• Maintain at least 2 metres distance of other climbers to reduce the chance of collisions.

• Keep fall zones clear (these may be wide areas, think about your location).

• Remove anything from pockets that could hurt you when landing.

• Once finished an attempt, move back to allow other climbers to climb.

• There is a risk that holds can spin or break. Please report any loose or damaged holds to reception straight away.

• If you see any problems with the walls, equipment or other climbers’ behaviour please report it to a member of staff immediately.

• In parts of the facility, overhead duct and pipe work will be close to you as you climb the wall. Please be aware of this and under no circumstances grab or fall onto this equipment. Fines may be issued if this occurs.

• No running, loitering, or lounging on the matting.

• Keep the mat free of any obstructions like bags, clothing, bottles, shoes etc.

• No food or drink in the climbing zones at any time, and no smoking/vaping in the centre.

• No climbing under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

• Any equipment either rented from Indirock or brought in by you is used at your own risk.

• You must never climb barefoot.

• You agree not to be topless while using our facility. It doesn’t matter how hot you get, please drink water and keep an appropriate level of clothing on.

• You agree not to use products which may leave unpleasant residues for others, such as “gym tacky”.

• You agree to comply with all instructions as posted about the facility or otherwise communicated to you.

• Sign in at reception on each visit before you climb.

• Be aware of other climbers around you and how your actions will affect them.

• Be friendly and inclusive with all your fellow climbers, being conscious of how your actions could affect how welcome others feel at Indirock.
