Can we carry stuff on us while we climb?
iPods, heart monitors, etc. may be used, but must be worn properly. For example, cords must be tucked, no loose cords may dangle from your body as could be cause for injury.
Is there a place to leave my bag during the event?
Yes. Check your belongings at the bag/coat check after receiving your climb bib. We use your bib number to keep track of your coat/bag.
Coat & Bag Check will be available on the 8th floor of the building (post event celebration location). We suggest leaving all valuables at home or in your car because the ALA or building managment will not be held responsible for these items. Thank you!
