In consideration of the services of Naoya Suzuki dba Adventure Seekers, and all other persons or entities associated with those businesses (herein collectively referred to as AS) I agree as follows:

Although AS has taken reasonable steps to provide me with appropriate equipment and skilled guides so I can enjoy an activity for which I may not be skilled, AS has informed me this activity is not without risk. Certain risks are inherent in each activity and cannot be eliminated without destroying the unique character of the activity. These inherent risks are some of the same elements that contribute to the unique character of this activity and can be causes of loss of or damage to your equipment, accidental injury or illness or, in extreme cases, permanent trauma or death. AS does not want to frighten me or reduce my enthusiasm for this activity, but believes it is important for me to know in advance what to expect and to be informed of the inherent risks.

The following describes some, but not all, of those risks: The hazards of walking on uneven terrain and slips and falls; being struck by rock fall, icefall or other objects dislodged or thrown from above; the use of climbing ropes and equipment; the forces of nature, including lightning , weather changes and avalanche; the risks of falling off the rock, mountain or into a crevasse; the risks of exposure to insect bites; the risk of altitude and cold including hypothermia, frostbite, acute mountain sickness, cerebral and pulmonary edema; my own physical condition, and the physical exertion associated with this activity. Furthermore, AS employees have difficult jobs to perform. They seek safety, but are not infallible. They might be unaware of all a participant fitness or abilities.

The weather and other environmental conditions cannot always be predicted with absolute accuracy. It would be impossible for the staff to foresee and warn you of every conceivable thing that might go wrong and any equipment can malfunction. I am aware that mountaineering, rock, artificial wall and ice climbing, hiking, snowshoeing and cross country skiing entails risks of injury or death the any participant.

in injury or death. I agree to assume and accept full responsibility for the risks identified herein and those risks and those risks not specifically identified.

Therefore, I assume and accept full responsibility for myself, including all minor children in my care, custody and control, for bodily injury, death, and loss of personal property and expenses as a result of those inherent risks and dangers identified herein and those risks and dangers not specifically identified, and as a result of my negligence in participating in this activity.
