Is a standard gym waiver enough for a climbing gym?

No. Climbing involves fall risk, belaying, and equipment use that standard fitness waivers don't adequately cover. This template includes climbing-specific risk language.

Does this cover bouldering too?

Yes. The template covers both roped climbing and bouldering, including fall risk from bouldering heights and mat/padding acknowledgment.

Can parents sign for youth climbing programs?

Yes. Minor/guardian signing lets parents sign for their children digitally. Perfect for youth teams, camps, and birthday parties.
