Frequently Asked Questions

1. Who has to sign a waiver?
Answer: Any person who wants to climb, belay or take a class at The D.R.G. must sign a D.R.G. Release Agreement. If the participant is under 18 then their parent or court appointed legal guardian must sign the waiver on their behalf.

2. Do I have to take the Intro to Climbing Class if I am new to climbing?
Answer: No. Anyone may climb in The D.R.G. However, to belay or tie-in the participant must pass The D.R.G. Tie-in and Belay Test. It is recommended that beginners take the Intro Class to learn the basic climbing and belaying skills.

3. What is belaying?
Answer: Belaying is the act of controlling a rope to protect a climber. The person belaying takes up slack in the rope when someone is climbing, arrests the climber if they fall and lowers the climber to the ground when they are finished climbing.
