Edgeworks Tacoma Competition!

Registration is open for the Edgeworks Tacoma competition, but space is limited! The event is filling up, so please sign-up asap to secure your spot if you are planning on attending this comp!

This is our home gym–allowing familiarity with the terrain and therefore a home field advantage, so I expect a strong Team Edgeworks presence there!

You can find registration links and more info in the email version of this newsletter.

Riverfront Rock Gym Competition

Our first qualifying event is this Saturday, October 15th, at the Riverfront Rock Gym in Wenatchee! We will have four coaches there to support the athletes and I look forward to seeing all of you.

If you have any questions, please refer to the “Parent Guide” and “Info Sheet” included in the email version of this newsletter or reach out to your coaching staff. The info sheet contains the times climbers need to be at the facility based on their category.

Registration is now open for Riverfront Rock Gym, Edgeworks Tacoma, and Uplift competitions. Please register as soon as possible. This helps the host facility to plan for the correct number of climbers and helps us staff coaches appropriately, thanks!
