A cute local version of REI at the Lone Peak hiking town. We managed to find a belt here for our last minute hiking shopping, and also bought a small bottle of oxygen, which is absolutely needed for me to climb Mt Whitney 99 switchbacks area. ($8.99 per oxygen bottle)

Everyone is so helpful here. I came here looking for snow hiking gear since I’m from Phoenix and intended to hike Whitney after 2 days of snow storms. The folks there take the time to make sure you have what you need and not just try to make a sale.

Great place to pick up some gear for your excursions out into the mountains. You can buy new gear, or you can rent gear. The staff are super chill and friendly and seem to know the stuff they carry.

Our group of five, three sibs(mid to upper 50s), one nephew(31), and one niece(21), arrived at store July 14, after talking to John by phone earlier that week regarding crampon rentals and snow axes. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about alpine hiking gear and self care tips to make our go of Whitney in one day (July 15), a safe, satisfying and successful adventure. We picked up a few other essentials while browsing the store inventory. Hiking in high elevation is no joke. We’ve been preparing for months. The store employees each time we were there were helpful and welcoming. Tell John we cramponed up and took the chute down. Thank you!

Excellent service and knowledgeable staff, with a wide range of gear and everything you need for your hiking adventure. I came in to buy some gear in preparation for hiking Mt. Whitney. John helped me with all I needed and more, giving good advice on both the hike, equipment, conditions, nutrition and more. I wouldn't have been able to hike the mountain without his help. Highly recommended.

I stopped by this outdoor gear store on my drive back home from Mammoth and was blown away by the incredibly friendly and helpful staff. It also didn't hurt that an adorable Ozzie ran up to greet us when we walked in the store! The staff gave me some great recommendations for nearby hiking and climbing. Will definitely stop by again when I'm near Lone Pine!

Fantastic shop. Whether you’re a climber, hiker/backpacker, skier or just passing through you gotta stop by Elevation. Great people with great customer service. Helped me a ton with my fist trip out to Alabama hills.
