Climbing Gym Safety Orientation & Waiver

Getting new climbers oriented safely is critical for any climbing gym, and managing that process with paper waivers and clipboards creates bottlenecks at the front desk. This Climbing Gym Safety Orientation & Waiver template gives climbing facilities a professional, branded digital form that covers belay certification requirements, bouldering fall zone awareness, equipment inspection protocols, and emergency procedures—all in one streamlined experience.

Built for climbing gyms, adventure centers, and indoor rock climbing facilities, this template combines safety education with liability protection. Participants read through key safety information, confirm their understanding of climbing risks, provide emergency contacts, and digitally acknowledge gym policies before they clip in or start bouldering.

Because it's built on Paperform, you can customize every section to match your facility's specific routes, equipment and certification levels. Embed it directly on your gym's website, share via QR code at the check-in desk, or send to new members before their first visit. Conditional logic shows belay-specific questions only to rope climbers, while bouldering-only visitors skip straight to fall zone and spotter protocols.

Integrate with Papersign to turn each completed orientation into a legally binding waiver with a secure eSignature trail, so you maintain a clean digital record of every participant acknowledgment. Connect submissions to your CRM, member management system, or Google Sheets to track who's completed orientation, flag participants due for refresher training, and keep insurance documentation organized.

For gyms managing multiple locations or offering different climbing programs (youth camps, corporate team building, competition training), you can duplicate and adapt this template for each use case while maintaining consistent safety messaging across your brand. Stepper workflows can automate follow-up emails with route grade guides, send reminders for recertification, or notify staff when advanced climbers request lead climbing assessments.

Whether you're onboarding first-time climbers or certifying experienced belayers, this template helps you maintain safety standards, reduce front-desk admin, and get participants on the wall faster—without compromising on thoroughness or legal protection.
