VO2Max - heart rate - climbing

Dear Alice,
I've done a VO2Max test today. I am 39. I havent done any regular exercise between 18 and 36. I started doing jiu jitsu/grappling 3 years ago 1 to 3 times a week.
Starting the test warm up my heart rate was already around 100 ! During the test it went up to 190. Result is my Vo2Max is 25.5 ! Obviously thats terrible, Idont feel that I am that out of shape, I do up to 5 sparring sessions of 5 minutes during training that are pretty intense.
Is my case desperate ? How much will I be able to improve with aerobic training ? I like climbing, I have been climbing up to 5000m peaks, it's tough but I did it. Will I ever be able to climb higher, 6 to 8000m ?
Thank you !
Franck.
