THE HI-LINE CENTER (HLCC): ORIENTATION � Bouldering (un-roped climbing) is permitted at HLCC in designated bouldering areas, or no higher than head height in areas designated for roped climbing. Please ask The Hi-Line staff any questions or if you are confused as to where you can climb and how high. � Bouldering involves increased inherent risks because YOU WILL FALL, and all falls are ground falls which could result in injury or death. � Padded floors and crash pads (where present) mitigate risks, but do not and cannot guarantee prevention of injury or death. Improper pad placement can also cause injury or death. � Many injuries occur when you fall near or at the top of the wall and / or when you miss the crash pad or hit an edge of a crash pad. To reduce your risk of injury: - Down climb when possible instead of jumping off. - Before each climb, ensure crash pads (where present) are positioned properly so that you land in the middle of the pad. - Use a spotter to help position crash pads (where present) and ensure a clear landing zone. � Keep Landing Zones Clear: - Do not lounge on pads or walk under climbers. - Remove all personal items from landing zones. Shoes, packs, water bottles and any other gear should be cleared from the climbing area and kept in a cubby. - Be aware at all times because you could land on or be landed on by other participants. � Proper Falling Technique Can Reduce Injuries: - Stay relaxed – Keep your legs and arms slightly bent and ready to absorb impact. A tense body will result in more impact force throughout your body. - Do not try to stay standing up – Trying to stay upright at all times will cause injuries. Absorb force by collapsing / rolling to the ground. Do not try to stop your fall with your hands. - Be aware that you may lose your grip or footing and that holds may break or spin resulting in a fall. Falls from any height can result in serious injury or death.  Know the route. Don't interfere with other climbers on the wall and check your descent route before exiting. � Ratings: The Hi-Line rates the difficulty of boulder problems with the V-Scale (V-Intro, V1, V2, V3, etc) with V-Intro being the easiest. � Top-Out Bouldering: Top out bouldering is permitted in designated areas only. Use designated descent paths / ladders only and descend slowly and carefully. � New Climbers. Those who are new to bouldering should start with easier problems (V-Intro to V2) and avoid climbing the full height of the wall until they are more comfortable with the proper falling technique and how to utilize crash pads (where present).
