Climbing with your kids just got that much better!

Don’t want to give up climbing now that you’re a parent?
Want to meet other climbers with kids who understand the challenges?

We get it! Being a parent doesn’t mean you need to stop climbing but it does mean you may need to climb differently and that’s what Family Night is all about.

• Meet and learn from other parents.
• Make connections and share the responsibility of supervising the kid(s) while you climb.
• Shift your climb times to when it’s less busy in the gym.
• Manage expectations because sometimes the kids just won’t cooperate.

Our Women’s Climb Nights in Bellevue and Tacoma focus on creating a dependable, welcoming, and safe atmosphere to connect with other climbers or begin one’s climbing journey. The program offers a new place for women and underserved genders to feel welcome and explore the climbing environment and community.

Staffed by an Edgeworks employee (Community Facilitator) for 1 hour, participants are invited to stay and continue climbing together into the evening. This experience is intended to help participants find new belay buddies and connect with new friends.

Meet and climb with new people and build overall stoke!

The evening typically begins with a warm up on the boulder walls and an ice breaker, followed by top rope climbing.

• Membership or regular day pass rates apply.
• If you do not own a harness or shoes, complimentary rentals will be included.
• We encourage those who wish to attend to be belay certified.
• This program is currently offered only at our Bellevue + Tacoma locations.
