Extra Info:
After your weekly 2 hour session you are free to continue using the bouldering area unsupervised but use of the top rope area unsupervised is dependant upon your instructor finding you safe and competent to do so. For young people between ages 14-17 yrs attending this course, we will need parents/guardians to come in and sign a Parental Consent Form and an unsupervised under 18 form. The Parental Consent Form allows the young person to participate in the course if the parents/guardians are not there. The unsupervised under 18 form give parental permission for them to use the bouldering area and top rope areas unsupervised, providing their instructor finds them competent to do so.
