April 15, 2023 | USAC Qualifying Event at Edgeworks Tacoma
Competitor registration is available on the USAC website. Competitors must have a USA Climbing membership to register. Please register as soon as possible as this helps our facility and coaches plan appropriately for the correct number of climbers.

This will be an onsight format and we will host three sessions of youth climbing on Saturday, April 15. The entire gym will be closed to everyone except competitors and spectators during this time.
