New and used (with emphasis on the used) hiking boots, climbing gear, bike parts, sleeping bags, backpacks, snowboards and skis--as well as whatever your neighbor decided to bring down to the store that day. … Read Full Editorial
Great store for climbing and mountaineering gear by Ali A. via Judy's Book on 11/5/2012
They have large selection, good prices, staff that knows the gear and local climbing scene, and they support local climbers with bringing in experts, events, etc...
Wow! by Julie M. via Judy's Book on 9/18/2012
5 stars for the best sport services.
extremely helpful staff by Douglas A. B via Insider Pages on 8/28/2009
As most of these places are this is both a bike and ski shop. Staff has been extremely patient helping me come to grips with all the options and developments since I bought my last bicycle. I shopped all over town for a new bike pump and…
Second Ascent is GREAT by carol b via Insider Pages on 8/14/2009
Super bike shop with reasonable prices. We?ve been in there several times and the sales staff have all been knowledgeable and helpful. They also have a great selection of used clothing and equipment that is extremely inexpensive.
Second Ascent by Lisa M. via Judy's Book on 11/9/2006
Just check out all my posts regarding Second Ascent. This is a down to earth shop in old town Ballard, next door to the Tractor Tavern. No computer there - you will get an old fashion hand written receipt AND an awesome bike repair job!
Second Ascent - service is awesome!! by Lisa M. via Judy's Book on 5/25/2006
You can look at all my posts to see that I am a huge fan of Second Ascent, for many many reasons. But I can tell you that the service is second to none and I have been all over town: Gregg's, TiCycles, Montlake. I manage a cycling team and…
If you break it, Aaron will fix it. by Hilary D. via Judy's Book on 4/25/2006
Bar none, this is the best bike repair place in Seattle. Aaron and Chad have never steered us wrong and I love seeing them out at bike races! They have a great selection of new and used gear, the price is always competitive and the people…
Best prices/finds for outdoor gear by Mathew J. via Judy's Book on 3/9/2006
I have been a faithful customer of Second Ascent on Ballard Ave. for 10 years, back then they were called Second Bounce and were right in Fremont on Leary Way.Over the years, I've found some great deals.Recently I found a pair of lightly…
excellent value by Laural B. via Judy's Book on 1/13/2006
I'm one of those people who gets lost in REI. Second Ascent is a lot smaller but also more affordable. It carries a lot of outdoor equipment both new and used. They have a great sale selection with a big turnover so you have to visit…
Best Gear Shop in Seattle by Matt H. via Judy's Book on 12/23/2005
This is my shop. I buy everything at Second Ascent and I get my bikes worked on there. They have all the gear you need, and what they can't stock they will order for you. EVERY employee there is an experienced adventurer and can answer…
URBAN CYCLIST SPECIALISTS!! by Lisa M. via Judy's Book on 10/4/2005
Search Judy's book for Second Ascent. These guys are awesome, expecially for the urban cyclist!! Ask for Andrew or Aaron and they will hook you up with either a new or great used bike to suit your needs.
Where gear finds its second home by Brooke L. via Judy's Book on 8/19/2005
Second Ascent is a great multi purpose outdoor shop. Specializing in new, used and demo/sample gear, there is something for everybody. Besides the usual climbing hardware you will find an ample supply of boots, new and used, that will fit…
New and "experienced" sporting goods by robyn r. via Judy's Book on 8/16/2005
There should be more places like Second Ascent. Consider their business model: They buy gently used outdoor equipement such as tents, backpacks and clothing (not climbing gear) and re-sell them at a substantial disount. You can get last…
New and Used Quality Equipment by Jason W. via Judy's Book on 8/8/2005
One of the few places that you can find a quality selection of used camping gear and clothes in Seattle. They also have a large selection of new gear as well. The staff is great. It seems like everyone there would rather be outside than…

Awesome Family Owned Outdoor Store by Lisa M. via Judy's Book on 7/12/2005
Second Ascent is awesome in so many ways!! Located next door to the Tractor Tavern in old-town Ballard, this family-owned outdoor store is second to none in service, employee knowledge, friendliness, originality, and deals. The store…
