This site is a compilation of information gathered from our team
members. The webmaster cannot assure the accuracy of any of the
information distributed on this site, since climbing difficulty
and danger cannot be judged or rated by a single individual. Climbers
vary in height, weight, experience, confidence and physical fitness.
Consider that the information is objective and is not always absolute.
Due to the nature of rock, holds break, also altering the route
ratings. Bolts which are permanently placed in the rock should
always be considered suspect due the weathering, age and the quality
of the used metal. At no time should you put your life in the
dependency that the information on this website is absolutely
correct. Your safety depends on your own good judgment, based
on experience and a realistic assessment of your climbing ability.
Indoor climbing is a different sport than outdoor climbing, each
requiring their own techniques and safety procedures. While similarities
may exist between the two sports, the objective dangers are quite
different. Indoor rock gyms have pre-set anchors and fixed ropes
and are great for increasing your climbing performance in a hurry.
However rock gyms do not instruct on how to properly place gear
for protection or setup a safe belay anchor causing an assuming
climber to say "sure it will hold" not realizing how
heavy a 2,000 pound shock load really is. The serious consequences
of mistakes in either sports makes proper training mandatory.
Bouldering is a fantastic sport but each problem
has a ground fall potential. Do not climb up something which you
do not feel comfortable climbing back down. If you choose not
to use a rope at least use a crash path, have one or two of your
friends spot you to break your fall.
Remember that the nice thing about climbing, the balance between
your mind and body is.
