7. Disclaimer

Mountaineering requires sound judgment, physical conditioning, and common sense. The resources provided on this site should be used with caution and may contain inaccuracies; therefore 100summits.com is not liable for damages caused to members in the use of the site's information. Mountaineering is dangerous. Take it seriously. When hiking or climbing, always utilize multiple navigation methods and be aware of your surroundings. Before hiking and climbing in the winter months, be aware of and learn about the proper techniques for avalanche safety. Please respect private property. It is your responsibility to determine if land is private and to obtain the appropriate permission before entering the property. Many mountains are within private property, so be warned! Under Colorado state law, the public may cross private lands to access public lands only when a public road or right-of-way (easement) for public access exists across the private lands. In the absence of such a right-of-way, the public has no right to cross private lands without first obtaining permission from the landowner. The landowner is under no obligation to grant such permission.
