Climbing and Mountaineering Gear for Rent at The Back Country



Truckee, CA is right off of I-80. Our store is very close to a huge assortment of high quality Sierra Rock Climbing destinations. You can see the world class granite at Donner Pass from our parking lot. Excellent bouldering lies across the street in Donner State Park, and we are only 5 miles from Big Chief. Or head down the West Shore of Lake Tahoe and hit up Bliss State Park Boulders, Eagle Lake Cliff and Buttress, Sugarloaf, Pie Shop, or Lover's Leap. All within an hour's drive. We are a 2 1/2 hour drive from the east entrance of Yosemite, providing access to Tuolumne Meadows. Also home to the best Ice Climbing in the state at Lee Vining. Good luck making it past Bridgeport however without stopping to plan a climb.

We are only 30 minutes from Reno Airport and a 2 hour drive from Sacramento.

email mike@thebackcountry.net if you need more than a few speciality items. With short notice, I can sometimes bring in extra gear for your party. I'll also be happy to help you plan your adventures in any way! Need a ride? Can I come?

We take reservations only one day in advance. It is hard to estimate when the previous person will come back sometimes. Our equipment is "usually' only gone for one day.
