Earn Your Peaks!

February 1 – March 31, 2025

Attention Edgeworks’ Members! Our 9th annual Member Challenge kicks off this Saturday with an all-new format and fresh challenges—featuring new ways to rack up points, have fun, and add more motivation to your climbing sessions.

Start strong with a pared-down version of our classic challenge list, then keep the momentum going with our all-new weekly challenge cards. This is your chance to send hard, connect with the community and staff, and snag a FREE limited-edition T-shirt to celebrate your achievements.

What’s the Member Challenge?

Think of it as the ultimate 2-month climbing project: complete challenges, collect points, and unlock 3 peaks to proudly display on your Member Challenge T-shirt. Whether you’re here to put down projects, explore new ways to train, or just have fun with friends, this challenge has something for everyone.

First Peak: 65 points  |  Second Peak: 100 points  |  Third Peak: 150 points

With a wide variety of challenges and points up for grabs, there’s plenty to go around. You can even jump in, out, or back in again anytime during the challenge—so no excuses!

How It Works

Starting Challenge Lists (available February 1)

The challenge kicks off with location-specific Challenge Lists, available in the gym. Loaded with climbing related challenges that include sends by section, loving what’s local, training and more – these lists will be available throughout the challenge, so you can join anytime and dive right in.

New Weekly Challenge Sheets

Every Saturday morning, we’ll release brand-new Weekly Challenge Sheets featuring an additional 25 points’ worth of all-new tasks. These sheets are only available for one week, so you’ll want to stay on top of your game. They’re designed to keep things fresh, fun, and engaging—perfect for fueling that weekly stoke.

Why Join the Member Challenge?

Because this is what climbing is all about: adventure, progress, and community. Whether you’re chasing that 3rd peak or just exploring everything Edgeworks has to offer, the Member Challenge makes every visit to the gym feel like an achievement.

• Explore More: Try new climbing grades, styles, techniques, fitness challenges, and social events.
• Stay Motivated: Weekly challenges keep you pushing forward with new goals to tackle.
• Send with Friends: Climb, train, and laugh with other members who love this sport as much as you do.

Grab Your Limited-Edition T-Shirt

Hit 65 points and claim your FREE Member Challenge T-shirt! Your name will be added to a list, and you can pick up your shirt at the front desk.

Pro Tip: If supplies run low, don’t worry—we’ll restock as quickly as we can! And remember: wait to use fabric softener until after you’ve ironed on all your peaks.

Earn and Add Your Peaks

Each peak you unlock becomes an iron-on peak to add to your t-shirt. You can collect them at the front desk and DIY it with simple instructions. Not into ironing? Bring your shirt to a Member Social in March or April, and our staff will take care of it for you.

Track Your Progress

You’re in charge of keeping track of your completed challenges and points. Need some extra motivation? Check out the Leaderboard in the gym. It’s the perfect way to see where you stack up and cheer on fellow climbers.

EDGEWORKS’ ALL NEW BOULDERING GYM!

We’re “making more happen” at the Staples location at Evergreen Village in Bellevue! Announcing our newest project: “Bel-Red Boulders” … or “BRB” for short, because we know you’ll want to “be right back”.

Located just a few blocks away from our current Crossroads location, this all new 26,400 sq ft bouldering only gym will help fill the growing need for more climbing, training and fitness on the Eastside and for our greater Edgeworks community.

With the vision and intention to create a warm, modern, casual space that appeals to the Eastside community, this project is designed to meet the needs of urban climbers and weekend warriors alike.

PROJECT DETAILS

E/P USA CLIMBING WALLS 15,100 sq ft

Designed and constructed by E/P USA with flooring by Flashed, these new walls were designed to compliment and balance the wall features, angles and training components currently offered at our Crossroads location.

The walls at BRB will include a balance of slab, vert, and overhung terrain, featuring:

• 9,200 sq ft of climbing surface
• Up to 19 feet tall
• 95’ long Gallery Wall
• (2) 19’ Overhanging Features
• (5) Alcoves between 13’ and 16’ tall
• (2) Dedicated spray walls to enhance training opportunities, 30 degree and slab

Full-Fitness TRAINING AREA + Yoga Studio

Training is a focus here! Wanting to allow for strength training at many different levels of climbing and fitness, Bel-Red Boulders will offer a full training area with climbing-specific features, such as:

• (2) adjustable training boards
• Campus board
• Hangboard frame, with up to (12) hangboards and rails
• (2) Spray walls
• Free weights and racks
• Cardio machines
• Yoga Studio + Group Fitness Space

FACILITY FEATURES Locker Rooms + Saunas

In addition to gender neutral bathrooms that offer more usable, accessible space for everyone, BRB will also feature open access to sinks for easy handwashing between sessions and full locker rooms with showers, benches and saunas!

COMMUNITY Gathering Spaces

With every project we set out with the same goal, to build a space where everyone feels welcomed, challenged + engaged. Including features that promote downtime between sessions and accommodate remote work options, BRB can be your home away from home, work or school.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why are you building another gym in Bellevue? Why not somewhere else?
Good question. Our best answer is opportunity and available space. Demand is still high on the eastside; our Bellevue Crossroads location is crowded and will be losing some bouldering due to expansion and Vertical World Redmond has closed.

This is also not our last project and we’re always excited when people ask us to bring Edgeworks to their communities! We’re also proud to be the only gym in the Seattle-area market to serve any portion of the south sound; Tacoma is in fact where we started and our gyms span the largest area between Seattle, Bellevue and Tacoma. But this is not our last project. We’re always seeking our next opportunity to expand the Edgeworks community to new areas.

Are there any plans to resurrect the development of a Tukwila location?
We really like the idea of the original Stone Gardens Tukwila project but those plans are no longer available. The project was started by Stone Gardens before the Seattle and Bellevue gyms joined Edgeworks and the Tukwila plans were not included as part of the transition. The building has since been sold and leased to other businesses.

Will access to Bel Red Boulders [BRB] be included with my Edgeworks membership?
[Yes] Adding BRB to the Edgeworks community will offer our members a greater variety of climbing terrain, training options, fitness classes and more!

Will you offer more youth programs?
[No] Kids are always welcome at Edgeworks and we remain committed to helping young climbers discover, learn and excel at climbing but the programming focus at Bel Red Boulders [BRB] will be a little different.

With the addition of BRB and the expansion project at Bellevue Crossroads, it is our overall vision to better serve our community as a whole, including climbers of all ages, all sizes, and all abilities – bringing more climbing to the eastside and making space for programming where and when it makes the most sense for everyone.

While you won’t see regular youth programs offered here at BRB, there’s a good chance you’ll see small groups from Team Edgeworks here from time to time – sharing the space, working problems and practicing for bouldering season.

Will membership prices increase?
Prices are adjusted every year, but not due to expansion. Since the very beginning, it’s been Edgeworks’ theory and practice that small yearly price increases provide transparent predictability for our members and allow us to continue our commitment to invest back into our facilities, programs, and employees.

Each year, we evaluate the following criteria that typically results in a monthly membership rate increase:

• operating costs and staff wages
• increases in membership value, benefits, access, and offerings
• future improvements and expansions

Thank you for your excitement and support! We couldn’t be more stoked to share this with all of you.

If you have additional questions, please feel free to leave them send them via our online Customer Feedback form. 

We’ll continue to add to this feed as more questions and details emerge.
