swaterfall Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Are there any climbing shops in the 'ham? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainguy01 Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 A few... American Alpine Institute REI (their stock is getting "larger") Sportsman Chalet (They are talking about getting gear) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miller Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 the american alpine institute has a shop - thats probably your best bet for climbing gear. base camp closed down last summer, so otherwise youre left with REI. however, its a pretty quick drive (depending on when you go) to get to MEC in vancouver...

olyclimber Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 So Basecamp is gone? Sounds like a business opportunity up there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layton Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 yeah, prime location, no competition, lots of big spenders! Try opening up a full scale climbing wall too. You'll be rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 yeah, prime location, no competition, lots of big spenders! Try opening up a full scale climbing wall too. You'll be rich I meant selling out of the back of my car. You need a watch? Bham needs a good climbers gear shop. A climbing wall is another business all together. If there is a decent wall at WWU, you'd be a fool to try to run one there anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distel32 Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 yeah but the wall at WWU blows snaffles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelawgoddess Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 however, its a pretty quick drive (depending on when you go) to get to MEC in vancouver... and not much farther to valhalla pure in squamish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
