First Visit

Welcome to the oldest climbing gym in South Tempe! Here’s a general breakdown of what to expect on your first visit:

  • Never been to Climbmax Climbing Gym before? Let’s do this! We have top rope, lead climbing, and bouldering for all levels, so you can choose what suits you best.
  • Heads up, we’re in the Auto Loop, not on a main road. We’re a true hidden gem in Tempe *flips hair*
  • Fill out your waiver on our website before coming in for your first time to streamline the process. If you forget, you can do it when you arrive. Minors must have a legal guardian fill waiver for them in order to rock climb.
  • Check in at the front desk and settle up with a day pass, punch pass, or membership option. We’ve got the most affordable memberships in the whole state! If you don’t have gear, you’ll rent them from us at the climbing gym.
  • Wear clothes you can move in and bring some water. We have a RO filtered water fountain to refill your bottle.
  • For top rope, we’ll teach you how to belay for your first visit. If you know how already, you can test out of the top rope crash course. (You need a partner for top rope; we do not have any auto belays.)
  • For bouldering, you only need rock climbing shoes. Tennis shoes are permitted, but trust us: climbing shoes are made specifically for rock climbing for a reason!
  • For top rope, you need shoes and harness.
  • For lead climbing, you need your own rope.
  • Once you’re all suited up and got the safety necessities of rock climbing out of the way, you’re free to get your climb on! We truly hope you enjoy your time at our gym and we are always around if you have any questions.
  • There is no time limit on your day, you can stay and rock climb as long as we’re open!
