Q: Who needs to complete a Participant Agreement?
A: Every person entering the gym must have a Participant Agreement on file, regardless of their level of partipation. Climber and spectators alike must have one. If under the age of 18, the Agreement must be completed by a parent or legal guardian. No exceptions.

Q: How old must a child be to be allowed to climb? Is adult supervision necessary?
A: A child must be at least 4 years old to climb, and adult supervision is necessary for anyone under the age of 14. 

Q: Do I need to reserve a time to climb?
A: No. Just come out to the gym, and we'll run you through an orientation and "show you the ropes," no pun intended. The orientation takes about 10 minutes. During the orientation, you'll be familiarized with Climb Iowa and our rules. You'll learn how to use our eight auto-belays and our bouldering area, as well as learn some cool climbing lingo. It's fun and easy!
