The Fifth Season's selection of rental mountaineering gear is second to none. We have a wide selection of boots for just about every foot size and shape. Our boots are washed, cleaned and sanitized after each use. For the multi-day, glacier outing we offer Koflach Degree and Scarpa Vega (Inverno) double, plastic boots. For quick ascents and lighter tastes we offer light weight leather boots. This tremendous selection of models and fit assures you of the best experience.

We carry a wide selection of crampons to assure you of the best fit when using our rental boots or your own boots. If you use your own boots be sure to bring both boots so we can fit them individually. If you use your own boots they must be crampon-compatible. Light hiking or backpacking boots will not provide a safe fondation for crampons.

The other basics are also available at The Fifth Season including packs, sleeping bags, tents, stoves and more. Give us a call and we can provide help to select the right equipment for your climb or trip.

It's easy to reserve your gear. Download the form above and fax to us at 530 926-1337. If you've got any questions you are welcome to call the shop at 530 926-3606. Be sure to inform us of your date of departure and return, boot sizes (men's or women's), and the gear you'll need to rent.

The Fifth Season also offers the backcountry skiing enthusiast a great selection of randonee or ski mountaineering equipment. This tough-to-find gear is one of our specialties.
