Last night I stopped by Bent Gate to look for shoes. I arrived and they were getting ready to close for the night. I met Matt at the door and asked if if he had a certain shoe in my size and if he did, I would come back tomorrow and pick it up. Instead of telling me the store was closed, he invited me in and went to check.

Unfortunately he did not have the shoe in my size. He offered a different shoe and turned out it was a great fit. While I was there he was very informative as to what I would need to start climbing. Seeing that there were items on sale for really good prices, I asked if he could put things on hold and I would come the next day to pick them up (after all they were now closed and I was sure they wanted to go home after a long day at work).

He told me not to worry, that if I wanted to purchase the items now, I could. This is where I met Greg. Both Greg and Matt took the time to explain all the different types of gear I should look for and what made one better than the other. I ended up getting a plethora of equipment in order to start climbing.

I have to say that the service I received from these two fine gentleman was exemplary and I have no problems with sending anyone who wants outdoor gear to this store. Thank you for helping me get off to a great start in my climbing adventures! Cheers!
