Allez Up, Montreal Climbing Gym

FAQs

• What is the cost for a party? $17.50 per climber, taxes included, for the first 8 climbers, $14.00, taxes included, for the ninth climber and each climber thereafter Taxes also Included.. Also included in this price is a safety harness for each climber.
  
  
• I see on your prices page it says 8$ for children. Why am I paying 17,50$? The difference between the prices is for the following: 8,00$ for children’s climbing is when the client brings their own accredited belayer. If you prefer or need to hire our belayers, the price is 17,50$ per climber.
  
  
• How long ahead should I call to reserve? Reservations are first come first served. It is best to reserve as soon as you have chosen a date for the party due to high demand for weekend spots.
  
  
• What if the number of climbers changes after I’ve reserved? You can change the number of climbers up to 48 hours ahead with no penalty. We do not ask for a deposit. However, we do book staff to work your party, therefore your minimum charge will be the number you’ve confirmed before the 48 hours.
  
  
• The time I want to book is not during Allez Up business hours; can I still book? These types of bookings are available for large groups. Just contact the gym (514) 989-9656.
  
  
• What should the kids wear to climb? Comfortable sports clothes are perfect for climbing in, with lace-up or velcro CLEAN AND DRY closed-toe shoes. Climbing shoes can be rented ($2 tax inc.), however we have a very limited number of smaller sized shoes.
  
  
• How long does the activity last? Climbing time for between 2 to 10 children – 1 hour. Climbing time for 12 children and more – 1 hour to 1 1/2 hour. Climbing times may vary depending on number of belayers.
  
  
• How many belayers do we get? We book 1 belayer for 4 climbers. If by chance we can do better on day of party, we might add an extra belayer for part of the activity, but we cannot guarantee this.
  
  
•  Do I have to sign a waiver?  A waiver must be signed for EACH climber. Therefore we can send you the waiver via email, so as to hand it out with your invitations.
  
  
• I would like to serve food and cake. Is there an area reserved for parties? A table is at your disposal for a period of 30 minutes for cake and food after the activity. Also, pizza can be ordered and delivered directly at the gym. Parents are responsible for bringing plates, cutlery, napkins tablecloths, glasses and other accessories.
  
  
• Can I start the party earlier, and have the kids eat before the climbing? No food can be eaten prior (at Allez Up) or during the party – all food can be consumed after the climbing session in a special designated area.
  
  
• Can I arrive early to set up the party area? First, it’s good idea to arrive 15 minutes prior to party time so we can harness the children. If you arrive late we cannot guarantee full allotted climbing time. Also, by arriving early, you can do all your party setup.
  
  
•  I want to bring decorations, is that all right? You are free to put up minor decorations that can easily and quickly be taken down, however no noisemakers allowed – the noise disrupts the climbers.
  
  
• Is there parking available in your area? On-street parking is available around the gym.
  
  
• I saw a training wall on the mezzanine. Can the children climb there after they’re done eating? Firstly, there is no climbing once the activity is ended.  Second, the wall on the mezzanine is not a training wall. It is a bouldering wall; a more difficult and less safe type of climbing than the tall walls. In order to avoid accidents, children are not allowed on the bouldering wall.
  
  
• Where are you located? Guests can find a map on our web site. Should you have any questions please feel free to visit our gym at 1339 Shearer or call us at (514) 989-9656.
  
  
• OTHER IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS:
  For everyone’s safety, we ask parents and party hosts to cooperate in enforcing the following rules:
  
  
  1. Children are not allowed to run around since the gym is open to other climbers – it is dangerous for both the children and other belayers and climbers.
  2. Children must not pull on or play with ropes, and must also avoid stepping on them.
  3. Children must NOT, at any time, climb the walls without a rope or instructor.
