The fine print

Terms of service.

Last updated September 3, 2026. These terms cover use of the Vertical Challenge website and general participation in conversations, applications, and event information made available through it.

Using this website

You may use this website for lawful, personal, professional, and informational purposes. Do not interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorized access, submit malicious code, misrepresent your identity, or use our content to harm another person or organization.

Events and registration

Event dates, locations, activities, eligibility, and availability may change because of weather, mountain operations, safety, or other circumstances. Registration links and event participation may be subject to separate mountain rules, waivers, age requirements, and capacity limits. Follow all instructions from Vertical Challenge staff and the host mountain.

Partners, sponsors, and crew

Information submitted through partnership inquiries or crew applications does not create an agency, employment, sponsorship, or other formal relationship. Any engagement, placement, employment, or sponsorship will require a separate written agreement. We may review submissions and choose whether or how to respond.

Content and intellectual property

The Vertical Challenge name, site design, copy, graphics, photographs, and other materials belong to Vertical Challenge or their respective owners. You may not copy, modify, distribute, publish, or commercially exploit them without permission. If you send an idea or other material, you represent that you have the right to share it and grant us permission to evaluate it for the purpose of responding.

Disclaimers and limits

The website and its information are provided for general use and may contain errors or temporary interruptions. To the extent permitted by law, Vertical Challenge disclaims warranties and is not responsible for indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from use of the website or reliance on its information. Nothing here limits rights that cannot legally be limited.

Changes and questions

We may update these terms by posting a revised version with a new date. Continued use of the website after an update means you accept the revised terms. Questions about these terms can be sent through the contact page.
