The Alta Project
The Alta project is a long-term program that tracks how high you have climbed during their time at CSUB. As you climb your heights will be compared to some of the world’s tallest peaks such as half Dome, Mt. Everest, and even Olympus Mons on Mars. This is a free programming event to sign up for at the Rock Desk.
Rules
You must sign into the Alta Project at the Rock Desk every time you do laps
A rock staff member must record the your climb in order for the distance to be added to your total.
The distance is measured per lap completed on the tower with partial laps not counting. Every line is 30ft except for the overhang which counts as 35 ft.
At the end of each month, total heights will be calculated
Laps will only be recorded during open hours and exclude ALL competition days.
