We have rules in place, because climbing is an inherently dangerous activity. While climbing at Wilkes-Barre Climbing Gym, you (and any youth whom an adult is responsible for) assume all risks associated with climbing. The padding will not prevent injury or death. Please exercise common sense and caution.
