There are many risks and dangers inherent and integral to the sport of climbing and when you climb you make a personal assumption of these risks. You can do everything right and still be seriously injured, or even killed. Your safety is your responsibility. The exercise of good judgment, common sense and the proper use of equipment can help reduce risks. Please seek professional instruction before attempting this sport. Inner Peaks does not require the use of a helmet indoors at the gym, though we do provide helmets at no charge. Inner Peaks strongly recommends the use of a helmet when rock climbing outdoors and REQUIRES helmet use for all outdoor programming.
