Crushing Tip #14

Climbing is all about pushing your limits, facing your fears, and learning about what your body and mind is cabable of. In this short video, professional climber Chris Sharma talks about fears and limits and how climbing through the fear pushes you to discover more about your abilities.

Edgeworks Climbing Team Interest Meeting

Interested in being a part of Edgeworks’ Climbing team?  Think you’ve got what it takes to pull hard and represent Edgeworks?  We want you!

We’ve recently finished an extremely successful season for Team Edgeworks, with our climbers competing throughout the region, and receiving invites to the Divisional Championship in Utah, and the National Championship in Georgia.  As the new school year begins, we’re looking forward to an even more exciting season’s beginning, and in order keep improving our team we’re shaking things up.

First, we’re recruiting new members!  Team Edgeworks is holding an interest & information meeting for prospective members of the team Wednesday August 15th at 7:00pm.  We’re looking for youth climbers who want to improve, and are willing to work hard to do it.  Climbers and parents of climbers who want to find out more about what Team Edgeworks entails, and whether or not they would be a fit for the team, are encouraged to come to the meeting.  Remember, attitude is more important than age or present ability, so don’t be scared to come and learn about the team.  This is your chance to ask questions of the Edgeworks coaching staff and current team members all in one place.

If you have any questions about the meeting feel free to shoot the gym an email.  We’re looking forward to seeing you on WednesdayAugust 15th at 7:00pm.

New Bathroom Tour!

Good news, folks… after a month and a half of demo and renovation, the new bathrooms are finally done!  Say goodbye to the port-a-potties.  We’re extremely pleased with the outcome, and we hope you guys like the renovations too!  We’ve included showers and brand new lockers, so you can safely store your gear and wash that good ol’ climber stink off before heading off to your next social engagement.

  
  
A word of warning though, the bathrooms have switched, so make sure you’re heading into the correct one! Don’t worry, though, we’ve put up some warning signs to help you out during the transition, in case you forget and try to walk into the wrong restroom.
