A Note on Youth Participation

All guests under 18 years old must have a waiver completed and signed by their PARENT OR COURT-APPOINTED LEGAL GUARDIAN. There are absolutely no substitutions allowed for the parent or legal guardian.
For our complete Youth Policy including Unaccompanied Children, Youth Belaying, Lead Climbing, and Use of Auto-Belays, please talk with our staff!
Children enrolled in programs at Übergrippen (including but not limited to Akademie, clubs, teams, camps, after school programs) will be climbing with other children. Children will often be climbing partners for each other. This means YOUR CHILD WILL BE BELAYED BY ANOTHER CHILD ENROLLED IN THE PROGRAM AND YOUR CHILD WILL BELAY OTHER CHILDREN. If you are not comfortable with this, please do not enroll your child in our group programs. We offer private guided climbing (fees apply) and can also instruct parents on these same belay skills (enroll in our adult belay class here) so that you can supervise your child’s climbing experience directly.
