Summer Rentals was created by RossMac
I am hoping to join the Sunrise migration this weekend, and have some out of town friends who are game but need gear. Anyone know where we can find any shops that still rent backcountry gear this time of year?

Backpackers Supply in Tacoma. Both Tele and AT!
Also Summit Hause in Ashford ( wrong side of the mountain for Sunrise) although they get a bit squirrely about renting as the summer progresses and possible damage becomes an issue.
Marmot Mountain works in Bellvue are same owners as Backpackers and I think they rent as well.

A friend of mine was visiting a week ago, and we rented from Marmot in Bellevue without any problems. They warned me they had a limited selection during the summer, but they fitted him out with no issues at a fairly reasonable price, and no hassles about possible damages or such.

Thanks, all. For anyone else who might be interested, we understand that Second Ascent doesnt have rentals, REI does Tele but no randonee, so it looks like Marmot might be the action in the Seattle area.

Rented skis, boots, poles, and skins from Marmot just last week, not much over $100 for a full week.
