What's inside
“I haven't had the chance to rope up here yet so I can't comment on that, but the boulder setting here is EXCELLENT- more thoughtful setting that focuses on technique and skill.”
“i would say about half the gym was dedicated to bouldering areas and the other half to top rope, so it made the gym feel worth it if you only did one or the other.”
“There are top rope and lead climbing routes roughly 30 ft tall, including slab and overhanging sections featuring cracks.”
“There's also a small weight room with some weights and a few machines.”
“The exercise room is fully equipped, there are ample hang-boards, and even a kilter board.”
What climbers say again and again
“There's also a small weight room with some weights and a few machines.”
“The climbers who climb there are fun, staff is cool, and the setting is really the best in town.”
“The walls in the roped area tend to be shorter than some other gyms', but that means they are more beginner-friendly, as they ask for less stamina.”
“The problems were pretty good and the staff was super nice and helpful.”
From the reviews
Of the 4 climbing gyms I've checked out in Seattle thus far (Momentum SODO, SBP Poplar, Vertical World, Edgeworks Ballard), Edgeworks has been my favorite. I haven't had the chance to rope up here yet so I can't comment on that, but the boulder setting here is EXCELLENT- more thoughtful setting that focuses on…
This is not the largest climbing gym in Seattle, yet it literally has everything: vertical, slab, overhang, roof, arete, dihedral, crack, top-rope, lead, and even an outdoor wall! You name it, they have it - I truly appreciate that they have such a diverse collection of terrains.
Stopped here for a climbing session. This is my first time at this branch hence all the problems were new. I climb at the V3-V5 range so worked on a bunch of problems. The problems were pretty good and the staff was super nice and helpful. Did not check their gym so cannot say but they don't have much slabs.
I brought our 10 year old for some climbing. We were treated great by the staff & the person who was belaying for us (forgot their name) was a total pro- he gave just the right amount of feedback & encouragement to help my child succeed & feel great. We will be back for sure.
