417 WAIVER

---In consideration of my minor child being permitted by Crux Climbing Center, LLC to climb at its facilities, I, the parent or guardian of the minor, agree on behalf of my spouse and such minor to the following waiver and release, and I make the following representations:

---1. I acknowledge the inherent extreme risks in rock climbing activities, including those that take place indoors. I realize that those risks include falls, equipment failure, bad decision-making, inattentive belayers, climbers causing injury to others, and holds that have become loose or damaged by other climbers. I understand that there are unforeseeable, freakish accidents, and I assume all risk associated with such accidents, even though I cannot foresee them. I agree to pay attention to the state of the ropes in the gym and that of the anchors, and to advise gym staff if I do any damage or notice any damage. I agree to abide by all gym rules, and if gym staff make a specific request of or instruction to me, I agree to comply.

---2. I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to hold harmless and indemnify Crux Climbing Center, LLC, Inc., its owners, officers, employees, wall builders, wall designers, hold manufacturers, lessors, insurers, and agents, from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions or rights of action, which are related to, arise out of, or are in any way connected with my participation in this activity, or my being in the climbing area, including specifically but not limited to the negligent acts or omissions of Crux Climbing Center, LLC, its agents, or employees, for any and all personal injury that I may incur.

IN SIGNING THIS DOCUMENT, I FULLY RECOGNIZE THAT IF ANYONE IS HURT WHILE I AM ENGAGED IN THIS ACTIVITY, I WILL HAVE NO RIGHT TO MAKE A CLAIM OR FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST CRUX CLIMBING CENTER, LLC., OR THE OTHER RELEASED PARTIES, EVEN IF THEY OR ANY OF THEM NEGLIGENTLY CAUSED THE BODILY INJURY.

3. I understand that indoor climbing is not the same as outdoor climbing, and that additional skills are necessary for outdoor climbing that cannot be aquired in the center. I agree to seek qualified instruction before attempting to climb outdoors.

4. Should any indemnified party be required to incur attorney's fees and costs to enforce this agreement, I agree to indemnify and hold them harmless for all such fees and costs.

5. This release applies to and binds my personal representatives, heirs, and my family. If a member of my family under the age of 18 accompanies me to the gym, I make this release and these representations on his or her behalf as well as my own, and I agree to assume responsibility for his or her safety.

If I am a parent or guardian of a minor climbing at the gym, whether or not I am a member myself, or am present when the minor is climbing, I agree to indemnify and hold harmless Crux Climbing Center, LLC and the other released parties in the event a minor member of my family sues them or any one of them. I understand that this means I will pay all damages, fees, costs, and charges incurred by Crux Climbing Center, LLC or any other released party, including attorney's fees and any award of damages.

My signature below indicates that I have read this entire document, understand it completely, understand that it affects my legal rights, and agree to be bound by its terms.
