chriss Posted January 24, 2001 Share Posted January 24, 2001 Where can I rent some gear for Rainier this summer? I have some friends coming out from CO this summer for a trip to Rainier and a couple will need gear (boots, crampons, axe, etc.). Are harness' available? chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_Parker Posted January 24, 2001 Share Posted January 24, 2001 REI. Or RMI if you're using their services. If not, r-u sure your friends are qualified if they don't have any of this stuff? Don't ever underestimate Rainier! DPP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted January 24, 2001 Share Posted January 24, 2001 You can rent general mountaineering equipment through REI in Seattle when you arrive, but their store hours will make for a late arrival at the mountain the day you pick up the goods....

Guest Posted January 24, 2001 Share Posted January 24, 2001 You can also support the little guys by going to Feathered Friends (across the street from REI), Marmot (in Bellevue) or Backpacker's Supply in Tacoma - depending on where you're starting from. Each store also carries a different line of plastic boots in their rental departments if you have a preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbb Posted January 25, 2001 Share Posted January 25, 2001 and feathered friends will rent avalanch beacons. I don't know if REI does, but come the weekend, you can be sure that they're out of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
