Assumption of Risk: Rock climbing involves many risks and dangers that are inherent and integral to the sport. The exercise of good judgment, common sense and the proper use of equipment can help reduce these risks. However, you can do everything right and still be seriously injured, or killed. Please seek professional instruction before attempting this sport. Remember, your safety is your responsibility. Beta does not require the use of a helmet at the gym, though we do provide them at no charge.
