Registration, Release & Acknowledgment of Risk form

 In consideration of the services of Sierra Rock Climbing School, Inc, their agents, owners, officers, volunteers, participants, employees, contractors and all divisions or departments of Sierra Rock Climbing School, Inc, including the Castle Rock Climbing School, and all other persons or entities acting in any capacity on Castle Rock Climbing School's and Sierra Rock Climbing School, Inc.’s behalf, (hereinafter collectively referred to as "SRCS"), I hereby agree to release and discharge SRCS, on behalf of myself, my children, my parents, my heirs, assigns, personal representative and estate as follows:
1. I acknowledge that backpacking, mountain biking, rock climbing, ice climbing, mountaineering, fishing, and hiking entail known and unanticipated risks, which could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, or damage to myself, to property, or to third parties. I understand that such risks simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity. a) The risks include, among other things; the nature of the activity itself, use or operation of equipment supplied by SRCS, weather conditions, contact with plants or animals, my own physical condition, conditions of the trails, roads, waterways, or terrain, first aid, emergency treatment or other services rendered, consumption of food or drink. b) SRCS guides have difficult jobs to perform. They seek safety, but they are not infallible. They might be ignorant of a participant's fitness or abilities. They might misjudge the weather, the elements, or the terrain. They may give inadequate warnings or instructions, and the equipment being used might malfunction.
2. I expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all of the risks existing in this activity. My participation in this activity is purely voluntary, and I elect to participate in spite of the risks.
3. I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless SRCS from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action, which are in any way connected with my participation in this activity or my use of SRCS's equipment or facilities, including any such claims which allege negligent acts or omissions of SRCS.
4. Should SRCS or anyone acting or their behalf, 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. I certify that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage I may cause or suffer while participating, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage myself. I further certify that I have no medical or physical conditions which could interfere with my safety in this activity, or else I am willing to assume and bear the costs of all risks that may be created, directly or indirectly, by any such condition.
6. This agreement shall in all respects be interpreted, enforced and governed under the laws of the state of California applicable to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely in California. If any term, covenant or condition of this agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this agreement or the application of such terms or provisions to persons or circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall not be effected thereby, and each term shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
7. By signing this document, I acknowledge that if anyone is hurt or property is damaged during my participation in this activity, I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against SRCS on the basis of any claim from which I have released them herein. I have had sufficient opportunity to read this entire document. I have read and understood it, and I agree to be bound by its terms.
