About Climb On Equipment
Climb On Equipment is a climbing speciality retailer and gear exchange in the heart of downtown Squamish, locally owned and operated since 1992. As Squamish grew into one of the world's great climbing towns, Climb On grew with it — becoming the trusted neighbourhood shop where climbers gear up, swap stories and get honest advice from staff who actually use the equipment on local rock.
The store carries a huge selection of climbing hardware, ropes, shoes and apparel alongside alpine, camping and work-at-heights equipment. A standout feature is its rental program and consignment section, where visitors can rent the gear they need for a day on the Chief or pick up quality second-hand kit at a fraction of retail. It is an ideal first stop for travelling climbers who flew in light or anyone testing the waters before investing in their own rack.
What makes Climb On special is its role as a genuine community hub. Decades in business have made it a clearinghouse for beta on conditions, crags and routes, and the staff are known for steering customers toward the right gear rather than the most expensive. For climbers passing through Squamish, it is both a practical resource and a piece of local climbing culture.
