2. A fee is billed to the students account for a (7) week unlimited climbing pass to Circuit Bouldering Gym/Portland Rock Gym (PRG). *Fee course structure ranges from $85-$150 depending on the gym for a membership. Climbing at the Reed Climbing Wall is Free.
3. Students must climb a minimum of (2) days of 45min or (1) day of 1.5 hours. Additional climbing is encouraged. The more you climb the better you become.

If students fail to log their attendance when grades are due they will have a failing grade. Keep your attendance up to date.
5. No transportation available to gyms.
