Plan an early morning climbing session into your workout. Starting now, Edgeworks will open it's doors at 6:00 a.m. every First Friday and Third Thursday of each month.

The gym will open early to Edgeworks members and non-members alike. It's a great chance to show your co-worker or buddy why you spend so many hours pulling plastic. We'll start the morning right with an early morning 101: Intro to Climbing Class, for anyone interested in learning how to belay.

We'll see you bright and early!

Crushing Tip
  C'MON CRUSH THIS!  
 

When someone asks how to up their climbing game, we almost always reply, "climb more, climb harder." It might sound horribly trite, but it's true. Here's the reason we're quick to suggust more pull time.

Climbing 100 laps on routes at your current redpoint grade is great... for getting good at your current grade. Progressing further requires more. If you want to get stronger you have to try routes that are harder than your current best.

Remember that even as you're falling off things you're learning valuable lessons about what does and doesn't work on harder routes. Sasha D said the change responsible for the explosion in her climbing ability that allowed her to redpoint 14d was trying routes she used to think of as out of her league.
