Climb Like Liz

Friday, November 17, 2017 | 7pm – 10pm

Join us for a fun night of climbing, beer, wine and raffle prizes, but even better than all of that — you’ll also be supporting the Liz Rocks Foundation: providing opportunities for at-risk youth to get outdoors and reach new peaks.

A portion of ALL day pass and gear rental package sales during the event (7pm-10pm) will be donated to the Liz Rocks Foundation, including $10 from ALL day passes* and  $4 from every gear rental package.

Plus, if an Edgeworks member buys a day pass, 100% of the sale will be donated!

It’s a great way to help support a local organization. Click here to learn more about Liz Rocks.
