Climb Max Mountaineering

We found this place for something they really don’t market for… tent repair. Specifically the zipper. Our tent is a spendy 8-​person one with a zipper on the door that kept unzipping. Other outdoor stores didn’t have an idea where to go so through a Unilocal search we got connected to Climb Max. After an immediate email reply, I made the trip to Climb Max on a Saturday morning with what I thought was my tent in my bag (the rain fly and poles were in it, grabbed the wrong bag, another story) and was welcomed with «hey, you gotta a tent that needs to be fixed!» Since I didn’t have the tent to show them, the gentleman showed me how zippers worked and a multitude of ways to fix them, from a 5 minute do-​it-​yourself fix to actually replacing the entire zipper. Well the 5-​minute fix with a pair of needle-​nose pliers worked, and that is why this place is great. If they treat their climbing customers the way they treated me I don’t know why a climber would go somewhere else.
Not a rock climber, did some indoor stuff a long time ago, but just observing the mass selection of product on the walls and the very warm and knowledgeable staff I would recommend anybody who is into this sport (or recreational activity) to stop by Climb Max on Broadway. Oh, before you park in front and pay the meter they have free parking behind the store.

Climbing nuts and bolts, helmets, chalk bags, shoes, and so forth. This place is a small shop, but has almost every nut and bolt you need. Did you know they ALSO sell ukeleles? That’s pretty funny. Out of our group of nine or so, two walked out with ukeleles. The kind sold are light for climbers. I think they get one extra star just because they sell ukeleles. My fiancé was able to buy all the nuts and bolts he was missing as well as a few ropes.
The owner was very knowledgeable with the types of ropes and gear needed for snow climbing or certain elevation climbs. What a great place! If you go, just don’t go during major holidays and Halloween. It’s awesome that the owner takes Halloween seriously. Haha.

Every time I come here, they always give me the greatest deals. They are super kind and even when they had an emergency close, I saw the owner and he offered to help me even when he didn’t have much time. Fantastic place!

Wow, this place is a dream. I’m a novice climber and I was looking for my first pair of shoes. Joe was really friendly and helpful and was happy to spend lots of time helping me pick out the right pair. The prices were also amazing, even compared to what you’d find online! Great service with awesome prices? Almost unheard of, but it exists here. I’ll definitely be back the next time I need some gear.

Stopped in here yesterday with my friend. The store has a good selection and great pricing.
Joe helped my friend try on a bunch of different shoe styles and was very accommodating to both of us during our visit.
He provided lots of options during our conversation. Joe hooked me up with some laces to replace on my current pair of shoes, offered a discount because of my membership at local climbing gyms and also said he could help me stretch out my new shoes to address a specific hot spot.

Great store great selection great owner great place to spend your money
You’re willing to take the time with you and they have great knowledge of the sport
I’ve been shopping here for over 15 years I love it
