3 TEAM KIDS COMPETING AT NATIONALS!
Kylee Beam | Kohle Andrews | Alex Petty
USAC SCS National Championships in Kennesaw, Georgia
|
"These 3 athletes are some of the best climbers of any age in the entire country. They've worked incredibly hard to get where they are and it's an amazing experience to travel across the country with them so they can test themselves against the best the rest of the country has to offer" said Edgeworks Head Coach, Jon Manz.
Good luck, team! We'll be watching and cheering you on from the PNW.
CRUSH IT!

VITALIY ZAYCHENKO
Members since 2012
|
Over the last 3 years no member has been here more than Vitaliy. He has checked in over 500 times since his first visit on July 24, 2014.
Despite famously claiming that "technique is not for me" he has become quite the climber, in the gym and outside, as well as becoming an integral part of our community. We look forward to seeing Vitaliy at least 500 more times in the coming years, especially in the hours near to closing time!
