Digital waivers for climbing & bouldering gyms
Indoor climbing, bouldering, top-rope, lead climbing, auto-belay — get every climber signed with proper risk disclosure before they tie in.
Sound familiar?
Climbing is inherently high-risk
Falls, equipment failure, and belaying errors are real risks. A missing or incomplete waiver leaves your gym exposed to serious litigation.
Day pass climbers clog the front desk
Day pass visitors and first-timers all need to sign before climbing. Paper forms create a line that stretches out the door on busy evenings.
Youth programs and birthday parties need guardian consent
Kids' climbing programs and birthday parties mean chasing down parent signatures. Paper forms disappear into backpacks and never return.
How WaiverDrop helps
Climbers sign before they arrive
Post the waiver link on your website and include it in day pass purchases. Climbers sign at home and walk straight to the wall.
Climbing-specific risk disclosure
Cover falling risk, belaying responsibilities, equipment use, and auto-belay protocols. More specific protection than a generic fitness waiver.
Guardian signing for youth climbers
Parents sign for their kids digitally. One parent can sign for multiple children in a single flow — perfect for teams and parties.
Fast check-in for day pass visitors
QR code at the front desk lets first-time visitors sign in 30 seconds. No more bottleneck during after-work rush hour.
Safety video for belay certification
Embed a required safety video covering belay technique, auto-belay protocols, and bouldering rules. New climbers must watch before they can sign — a digital safety orientation.
Waiver expiration for annual renewals
Set waivers to expire after 365 days. Climbers are automatically prompted to re-sign annually — ensuring everyone has current risk acknowledgment on file.
Three steps. That's it.
Set up your climbing waiver
Start with our general liability template and customize it for climbing — covering fall risk, belaying, equipment use, and gym rules acknowledgment.
Post QR codes and share the link

Mobile-first signing with big buttons and fast signature capture. Done before they finish lacing up their climbing shoes.
Frequently asked questions
- Are digital climbing gym waivers legally binding?
- Yes. WaiverDrop waivers are compliant with the ESIGN Act and UETA. We capture the signer's full name, signature, IP address, timestamp, and user agent — providing stronger legal evidence than a paper signature.
- Is a standard gym waiver enough for a climbing gym?
- No. Climbing gyms involve fall risk, belaying, and equipment use that standard fitness waivers don't cover. Customize WaiverDrop's template with climbing-specific language for falling, rope systems, auto-belays, and bouldering heights.
- Can parents sign climbing waivers for their kids?
- Yes. WaiverDrop supports minor/guardian signing. Parents can sign for one or multiple children in a single flow — ideal for youth climbing teams, summer camps, and birthday parties.
- How do day pass visitors sign waivers?
- Post a QR code at your front desk. Day pass visitors scan it, sign on their phone in about 30 seconds, and they're ready to climb. You can also include the waiver link in your online day pass purchase flow.
- How much does climbing gym waiver software cost?
- WaiverDrop is free for up to 30 waivers per month. The Pro plan is $15/month (or $120/year) for unlimited waivers, unlimited templates, and custom branding. No per-waiver fees ever.
