Very communicative with pickup and drop off times which made it convenient for me to schedule around. Straightforward and easy experience renting crash pads. Would rent again.
Renting from Rebecca through GearGarage was an absolute lifesaver for my recent Mount St. Helen's climb! The ice axe I originally reserved was in great condition. When the weather conditions were dicey, I realized I might also need snowshoes, and Rebecca was incredibly responsive when I contacted her last minute.
