This
is, simply, a list of common questions that many of
our visitors ask.
If you have a question that isn't here, just e-mail
your question to us at climb@climb-max.com
or you can use the feedback form we've conveniently
provided you on our contact
page.
If you are over 18 years old, you must have a
valid form of identification in order to climb. Parents must come to the Climb-Max!!! Climbing
gym and sign a waiver form if you are under the
age of 18. All waiver forms must be sign by the
participant's parent or a legal guardian.
Where is the gym located?
We are located in the rear parking area of the
Bridgestone Tire Co. at 5304 Canal Blvd. (click
for map)
I've never climbed before. Does Climb-Max!!!
have anything for beginners?
Most definitely. We have approximately 5,000
square feet of climbing surface, built for every
level of ability.
Are there age requirements to climb at
Climb-Max!!!?
Yes and No, Climb-Max!!! has climbing for all ages
of climbers, but we require that all belayers (the
person who holds the rope to keep the climber
safe) be at least 14. This is an insurance
requirement and has nothing to do with size or
strength. We have had climbers as young as 4 and
as mature as 70+!!! Also, participants under the
age of 18 must have a parent sign one of our
waiver forms before climbing. You can view and
print a waiver here.
What if I don't own any climbing equipment?
Not a problem, we have everything you need
available for rent, including shoes, harnesses,
and caribiners.
I heard it gets really hot inside
Climb-Max!!!, is that true?
Not any more, in May of 2001 we added air
conditioning, now it stays reasonable even on the
hottest of days.
Will there be staff members on hand to belay
if I come in by myself?
Not usually. We are currently constructing a
bouldering cave in addition to added bouldering
space for customers who come in by themselves.
Also, it usually is not too hard to find other
people in the gym to climb with.
What types of payment do you accept at
Climb-Max!!!?
We accept cash, checks, Visa, and MasterCard.
If we come for the day can we leave to eat
and come back?
Sure, Climb-Max!!!'s entrances are based on a day
pass, just let the staff know on your way out that
you plan to come back that day.
Is there a place to eat inside if you bring
picnic lunch?
Sure, we have several picnic tables inside the
gym, feel free to bring refreshments and snacks.
Also, we just completed our newly renovated Party
Deck. Even if your not having a party you can sit
on the deck and observe other climbers.
Can I use my own belay device, rather than
the gym's Gri-Gris?
No, our insurance requires that you use our
Gri-Gris to belay.
Can the gym be rented out for private
parties?
YES!!! If you are interested in renting the gym
out for a private party, please submit your
request using the form on the contact
page contact the gym at 504-486-7600 for more
details.
What is the maximum/limit for parties?
There is a 10 person limit to receive the party
rate and a 90 person maximum for parties.
Do you have after school instruction for
beginner climbers?
YES!!! You can contact the gym to schedule classes
with our very capable instructors.
