Edgeworks Climbing Seattle

Erik Skeel

This is an excellent gym! I especially love the lead routes on the outdoor wall, the interested indoor top-rope slabs, and the challenging boulders. The staff are friendly and down-to-earth, and make you want to keep coming back!

I've been climbing here for ~3 years. I like this gym and the variety it offers, the staff is super friendly, routes are challenging, nice community, lots to climb, and the outdoor area is great. 4/5 stars though because this is an old gym with some old gym problems - restrooms were often broken and some freshening up of the gym could be useful (e.g. workout area) - but I really appreciate seeing Edgeworks folks steadily working on improving things. Last time I went (in May) they had done a couple of weird changes though which I hope will be reverted back (rope area storage shelves formed in a tower + the clock to check time had been replaced by a TV... Who comes to the gym to watch TV?😃)

I don’t typically leave reviews, but seeing a two star review for my favorite climbing gym in Seattle left me feeling a bit irritated. To each their own. The routes are challenging and fun, the staff is super friendly and they’ve done a great job with updating the gym in the recent years and keeping it super clean. No one will probably ever read this because I suspect the algorithm pushes incessant reviewers with negative reviews to the top of the google reviews list. Anyway, for what my opinion is worth (very little) this gym is great. Appreciate the hard work edgeworks team. I’m sure you don’t hear it enough.

The group I visited this climbing gym with unanimously agreed that it has sub-average route design. I had a decent time and the rope climbing is clearly the highlight here, but between the bad routes and generally worn down atmosphere of the place, it's undoubtedly my least favorite climbing gym in the greater Seattle area. There are also many routes that are unmarked and randomly end halfway up the wall without any final hold labeling. I get the impression at this place is poorly managed.
