How to Checkout Gear<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

To rent equipment, bring your St. Olaf ID to the climbing wall desk and tell the staff what you need. You’ll review and sign a rental form. There is no cost to rent equipment. Gear is due one week from checkout (early returns allowed) and must be clean, on time, and in good, working condition. Fees apply for late, dirty, damaged, or unreturned items.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGear Reservation Form\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t
