COMMUNITY.

Together with professionalism, integrity and adventure, community is one of our core values. To us, it means “a welcoming group of climbing enthusiasts, adventure seekers, and friends connecting through our shared interests in climbing, fitness, and fun”. 

Each Pride Month we take the opportunity to reflect on what we’ve done and still need to do for LGBTQ+ folks in our communities.

Why do we celebrate Pride Month?

We recognize that diversity fuels the spirit of our staff and community. Our commitment to equity and inclusion across race, gender, age, religion, identity and experience builds a culture where difference is valued, innovation thrives and adventure is accessible to all.

What are we doing to support the LGBTQ+ community?

We are proud to be creating brave + inclusive spaces where all climbers of any gender, identity or sexual orientation feel accepted;  where you can challenge yourself, build your skills and know that this is a place where you belong.

What steps are we taking to accomplish this?

• Listening + responding to the needs of our staff, members + community
• Maintaining hiring practices to recruit + retain a diverse staff team
• Advancing a staff-led diversity, equity + inclusion committee
• Hiring experts to help identify + navigate our strengths/opportunities through discussion and trainings
• Building action steps to hold ourselves accountable to changes we want to see

What does this look like to our community:

• Monthly Queer Climb Nights at all locations; hosted by Queer Mountaineers
• Progress Pride flags in all facilities (year-round)
• Period products in all bathrooms (year-round)
• Pronouns on staff nametags
• Access to gender affirming bathrooms in all facilities; with improvements to the Bellevue gym scheduled with facility updates and expansion
• Gender inclusive categories for competitions
• Celebrate Pride events + activities hosted at all locations during the month of June; and July in Tacoma
• Redefining who a “climber” is, can and should be by building a better, more inclusive community for all

We’re listening.

Review by: Elana Cueto of Edgeworks Seattle

Lana took the Rappelling Course through Edgeworks Seattle in Spring 2024. The rappelling kit provided during the course comes highly recommended by Edgeworks Guiding and all items are available for purchase at Edgeworks’ gear shops conveniently located in Ballard, Crossroads Mall in Bellevue, and Tacoma. 

Gear included in this kit:

• Rappel Device: Petzl Reverso (Qty: 1)
• Locking Carabiners: Petzl Attache Screw Lock Carabiner (Qty: 2)
• Runner for Extension: 18mm x 120cm Black Diamond Nylon Runner (Qty: 1)
• Prusik: 6mm Edelrid HMP Cord Sling (Qty: 1)

What are your favorite things about this kit?

My favorite thing about this kit is how each item is multi-functional. They are also relatively inexpensive compared to other climbing gear.

What type of climbing did you use this kit for?

I used this kit for rappelling. These items can be used indoors or outdoors. This setup is useful for descending from multi-pitches or just having some fun rappelling off cool cliffs and big rocks. These components are great for multi-pitch climbing and alpine climbing as well.

Is it comfortable and easy to use?

Once you take the rappel class, everything makes sense! The Petzl Reverso is great for belaying from below and above, as well as rappelling. The sling and cord are versatile and can be tied to varying lengths as needed. These items are all standard components for a rappel setup.

Is there anything I don’t like about it?

Nope! The nylon runner is not as adaptable as an adjustable belay extension/tether, but it’s much cheaper and accessible.

Here are a few tips when using this kit:

• Take a Class or Learn from a Credible Guide: According to The American Alpine Club, 30% of accidents happen on the descent.
• Use Appropriate Equipment: These items are not the only things you can use for rappelling. If you switch an item out, make sure you are using and connecting it according to the manufacturer’s standards.
• Mind Your Rope Diameter: If your rope is too similar in diameter to your cord sling, your friction hitch may be prone to slippage.
• Additional Gear Needed: Make sure you also have other necessary items such as a helmet, harness, locking carabiners, gloves, and a rope.

This comprehensive rappel kit is a fantastic option for anyone looking to improve their rappelling skills. Whether you’re tackling multi-pitch routes or enjoying a day out on the rocks, the Petzl Reverso, Petzl Attache Screw Lock Carabiners, Black Diamond Nylon Runner, and Edelrid HMP Cord Sling provide a reliable and cost-effective solution for your climbing adventures.
