      FAQ's

      Do I need to book hiking gear?

      Booking gear in advance will ensure availibility in your sizes, especially on weekends and holiday periods.

      Note: Bookings must be made at least 48 hours in advance so we have time to process and set the equipment aside, within 48 just come in when you arrive, in most cases bookings are not essential.

      How to Collect Rental Gear this summer?

      We have three options to get the hiking gear you need for your hike:

      1. Pick gear up from our store between 3pm and 7pm the afternoon before your planned hike
      Good option if you are uncertain of your size and want to try on first.
      You can choose to book beforehand so we set equipment aside, which can be checked for size and changed if needed.

      2. Gear delivered to local commercial accomodations
      Book online and have the equipment delivered to our selection of recommended local accomodations. Delivery cost just $10 per booking. Good option if you dont think you can make our open hours.

      3. Lock Box Pickup
      Book Online and have equipment left in our Lock Box at the front of the store.
      Good option if your arriving late or not staying in one of our recommended accomodations.
      Note: When selecting lockbox pick-up also send a copy of your ID, Drivers Licence or Passport
