Club Climbers who aren’t sure if they’re ready to try out for Team Edgeworks are encouraged to dip their toes in the world of climbing competition in a fun, no pressure atmosphere. Attending competitions is not required.

Activities:
Climbing (all indoor disciplines), intermediate climbing technique, increased emphasis on fitness and mobility training, introduction to lead climbing for 10+ year old climbers, optional introduction to competition.

Prerequisites:
- Junior Climbers or equivalent; Instructor recommendation
- Belay proficiency
