The clerk was super informative. She instantly grabbed a map to show me a better trail, a safer trail for two nights of backpacking and fishing . She gave me all kinds of advice, knew the backcountry well, knew all about the equipment, was super patient and helpful and kind. Glad to bring the crampons I rented back and see her again. This is a great store. You should try it. They ran equipment, and they are having sales on rock climbing gear right now.. read more

Such an awesome spot. All of their employees are soooo nice and helpful. They have really popular and reliable gear and even a clearance section with is cool. The employees are locals and familiar with a lot of cool runs/hikes. I definitely recommend this place and will visit when passing through Bishop! read more

I've been hiking around the Bishop and Mammoth Lakes area the past couple days and finally needed to get some hiking poles and microspikes/crampons for the Sabrina Lake to Blue Lake Trail. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the great assistance and information provided by Mike and Sarah Re: gear. (FYI - They have tons of variety for your outdoor needs AND even have a climbing wall and gym) Purchasing the Leki trekking poles and renting the Snowline microspike/crampons $6/day was FABULOUS! With my poles and the microspikes I felt like an invincible SpiderGirl walking up and down hard packed snow and ice! I LOVED the hike to Blue Lake SO much, I hiked it twice in a row!!! YUP! I'm talking 2 days SAME trail! One of my all time FAV hikes and I've hiked in Patagonia, South Island NZ, Canadian Rockies, etc. If you want some hiking fun at this time of year, drop by Sage to Summit! Buy your trekking poles and rent your microspikes! Totally worth it! I'm thinking of hiking this trail one more time it is THAT cool to hike thru packed snow and ice with those microspikes. FYI - Hike to Blue Lake is about 7.15 miles RT based on how much exploring you want to do! Luckily, I hiked in twice in a row to shoot some photos in different sections. It's a HUGE lake and unfortunately, I don't like waking up early, so still wasn't able to hike further to the middle of the lake area due to lack of daylight hours at this time of the year. Thanks Mike and Sarah! I will return to your shop and recommend you guys too! :0) read more

Great store, the guy helped me find a great pair of trail runners, definitely stop by if you are in the area. Climbing gym in there too.

Sage to Summit is a small business with big ideas for lovers of the great outdoors. Their help was friendly like we were neighbors. We are in some respects since we love the surrounding outdoors. The prices were decent, different from other bigger stores that demand high prices because you might not have a choice. I bought Topo hiking boots, which I had previously walked in on the Camino De Compostela. They lasted the six hundred miles plus a month of Alaska and beyond. But Summit has a great selection of gear for any nearby or far away adventure! read more

I was casually walking back to my hotel when I stumbled upon this hole in the wall. This fun rock climbing place had something for all skill levels. The session also included shoes and liquid chalk!! Such a deal! In addition, I accidentally forgot my rings and the employees were kind enough to hold onto it until I came back the following week. I had such a fun time I brought some friends when I dropped in the second time around. I will definitely be coming back whenever I'm in town. Cheers!!! read more

I've wanted to visit your store since January, when I decided to run the Ultra there, May 17th. Finally made it, today, as I prepped for my pre-run. Just wanted to say "thank you" for your employee, JEFF. I came into the store so excited! He did not dampen my spirit one bit. He let me look at everything without any pushy hassles. Loved that. I did buy what I needed and he gave great advise and encouragement for the race. Thanks for a great shop. I feel absolutely no need to shop anywhere else in Bishop for my running needs. read more

They were shipped next day and I tried them out on a test run this afternoon - perfect!! Thank you Sage to Summit! read more

These guys know what they do! They are athlets, specialized, self experienced sales people who know the Sierras better than almost anyone, good prices and great selection for almost any outdoor activity in the Sierras. They're always happy to answer questions and help you find the right gear. Their strength is distance running and fast packing. First thing that caughts my attention is always that friendly and happy smile, make you want to shop :) Make sure you stop there on your way to anywhere. Sage to Summit rocks! read more

My friends and I went into Sage to Summit last night while walking by and there was a small crew of people doing a tasting of Pat's backcountry beer kit. We got there at the end and the owner redid the demo and tasting just for us! Today I hit up the local spots in search of a new sleeping bag. Karen was extremely helpful and offered the lightest weight bag at the best price. She also sold me her own down jacket because I was in a pickle. Above and beyond customer care! The gear at this store is in general UL and technical. It's all top of the line and in the forefront of backpacking and climbing gear. It's fun and the staff is great! read more

It's hard to find ultralight gear in real life. I was looking to go full on minimalist alpine climbing. I walked in and bought a Blue Ice Squirrel 35L backpack for the exact same price as Amazon. read more

I love the shoes that they sell here. And every time I've been in there everyone has been very helpful and knowledgeable. They also have great gear, anything you would need to enjoy yourself on the trail. read more

Knowledgeable and friendly staff! Got the perfect shoes at a reasonable price. Grateful to have this shop in our little town!

Over a year ago I dislocated and broke my ankle up on Mammoth Mountain of all places. I needed a pair of black work boots for my work cause I couldn't get my old ones on since my ankle didn't bend like it use to. The people set me up with the most comfortable boots I have ever walked in, plus I bought a pair of tennis shoes which also helped me during my physical therapy. I'm still wearing the boots and tennies I purchased at this establishment and though I get a yearly uniform allowance which includes boots, I'd rather spend my own money for another pair of these boots. In fact, I pretty much decided I won't buy shoes anywhere else. In addition, the customer care at this store is amazing! read more

Very knowledgeable. They carry great gear, siding towards the ultralight materials and gear. Very helpful, prices seems very much inline with gear of the obvious quality they carry. You will only find ultralight and top-notch gear here. If you need a simple discount item, or cheap knock-offs this is not your store. read more

A small, but excellent, outdoors store. The gear is focused on trail running and ultralight backpacking. They have UL gear that I've never seen at any other store. Plus, the staff is quite knowledgeable. If you have trail condition questions, chances are they've been out there themselves or know someone who has... read more

This is by far the best running/mountain outfitting shop I've ever been to. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Being from out of the area I've called and talked, in detail, about planning trail run routes on my visits to the Sierras. They never act annoyed or rushed and are glad to help. I stop in whenever I'm going through town and shop their website from home. Their website has an awesome section of various trail runs throughout the Sierras. I give them my business even when I may be able to get products a few bucks cheaper at a giant online retailer because it's small, family run businesses like Sage To Summit who's passion for the mountains keep me stoked to get out there. read more
