Part of our mission is to outfit EKU students with the right gear for the right season and to provide knowledge of how to use it! Our rental center carries gear from manufacturers such as Dagger, Gregory, Eureka, MSR, Coleman, Slumberjack, Nalgene, GSI, and others. Our staff will point you in the right direction and get you ready to use the gear on your own adventure!
Equipment may be rented during climbing center operating hours (Mon-Thurs: 2 p.m. – 9p.m., & Friday: 12 p.m. – 7 p.m.) For transactions outside of this time frame, or for items that require an appointment, please contact Dakota McClendon by email, or by phone: 859-622-5251, for more information.
