Edgeworks Climbing Bellevue

I went with 3 other people and bought day passes and shoe rentals. The price came out to almost $140, which is absurd compared to other bouldering gyms I’ve been to, both in Washington and California. The worker appeared quite annoyed that we had not filled a waiver out prior and the overall attitude was quite unwelcoming. Furthermore, they fail to provide chalk so you must spend another $5 to buy chalk. This seems like a basic commodity. Save your money and go to Seattle Bouldering Project. You will find more choices for climbing, a much larger workout area, and yoga room for half the price.

Came from out of town to boulder for an afternoon. Two gripes: the routes did not feel fun, and they felt misgraded in some places.I’m a v4-v5 climber, so I recognize I’m not great, but know I’m in a thick area of the bell curve where a lot of others are.I flashed every v3 I attempted, but in an entire afternoon did not top a single v4. For most I could tell what the beta was but they felt like effort-heavy moves not technically hard moves. I didn’t see a single pincher hold, and at the end of the day my hands had plenty of gas by the time my upper arms had given out. On top of that, I saw a total of 3 people in the entire gym send anything above v4 the entire day. It made it very hard to project and watch others.The holds also felt very old and worn down. The volumes as well were almost all smooth but in an oily-smoothed-by-shoe-rubber way. They need to replace at least half of them. Many of the starting move holds were so chalk caked and smoothed out from hand oil I didn’t even try to get on.Just over all not a fun day for somebody in my skill set.

Had such a great time here today and Adam at the front desk was extremely helpful and kind

I began my bouldering adventure recently. Edgeworks was the second climbing gym I've ever visited.

It is obvious your gym is not interested in helping folks learn and introducing them to the sport. You’re here for the profits and it shows. Inform your employees about your rigid policies. Won’t be going back.

Great gym- lots of options - walls and bouldering! + convenient location near Crossroads (huge food hall across the street).Grateful for this addition to the community

Was here today (617) and was surprised with the lack of safe practices. They really weren’t enforcing their safety rules at all. Tons of people climbing top rope without belay certs and practicing really unsafe belay behaviors.

We loved the challenging climb to the top. Our instructor Kelsey was very helpful and kind. We will definitely come back for another climbing session!!

I have come as a guest to this gym, I prefer it much less to other bouldering gyms in the area. They did not have hand towels for me to use, which I really needed since I sweat so excessively. It caused me to have safety concerns while climbing and feel uncomfortable in their gym due to my excess sweat on face/arms/hands. They also did not have guest chalk to use, which seems very unwelcoming to new climbers. Additionally, I felt like their routes were not set up very well. I felt like I had to either be tall, or do dynamic movement on the boulder paths and it felt very unsafe because of how they had the routes setup. Would recommend checking out other bouldering places besides this one.

Great place to workout, dump energy, or hang out with family and friends and climb. They have everything you need - walls, caulk, shoes, workout area, and water.What could be better? A group of other people climbing and getting excited about climbing. The energy here is unreal. The people here are fantastic about climbing.Get outta that cubicle, get away from gaming, get off that trail, and come and climb. Edgeworks is awesome and the environment is epic.
