On October the 8th Glen Eden Extreme Edge is supporting Starship Hospital with their annual Climb-athon. Kids of all ages are sponsored per climb, setting a  target of 20, 50, 75 or 100 climbs and spend the day achieving this.  Last year this event raised over $2000.00.

Starting the same weekend a Star Wars Lego collection will be on display for three weeks.  There will hundreds of models on display on the third floor.  Several movie scenes will also be depicted. Entry is a gold coin donation, with all the proceeds going to Starship Hospital.

September 23 to October 8 are the school holidays which is an excellent time to take the kids and get them climbing the walls, so they are not causing parents to climb the walls at home!

Glen Eden Extreme Edge gym offers a number of courses for kids and adults, and their Rock Hoppers and Hopper Plus courses give kids and young adults the insight and training that they need to become an expert on the ropes. At Extreme Edge they are passionate about New Zealand and the outdoors, so they have created a place where kids are as welcome as adults and every skill level can find routes designed especially for them. Extreme Edge is more like a community than a gym where everyone is valued and looked after. They promise top of the line safety equipment so kids can play hard and parents can be worry free
