Declaration of Risk & Acknowledgement(Required)
I understand rock climbing involves inherent risks. I understand the instructors will take the utmost caution to manage all risks and ensure student safety but there still remains a residual element of risk in a outdoor rock climbing environment that may be beyond their control. I understand I am responsible for my own safety and will take great care to prepare appropriate for the course, conduct myself in a safe way on the rock, and listen to and comply with instructions at all times.

There is a $50 non refundable deposit attached to this form. I understand that after signing up through this form, if I have to pull out of the course for any reason (including injury), I will receive the following refund depending on the time of cancellation before the course: More than 4 weeks = 100% refund (minus $50 deposit). 2-4 weeks = 80% refund. 5 days - 2 weeks = 50% refund. Less than 5 days = 0% refund. This is to protect the CMC from financial losses due to courses running below full capacity as the costs for guides are fixed regardless of participant numbers.
