Wow! by Julie M. on 9/18/2012 via Judy's Book
5 stars for the best sport services.

extremely helpful staff by Douglas A. B on 8/28/2009 via Insider Pages
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 on 8/14/2009 via Insider Pages
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. on 11/9/2006 via Judy's Book
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. on 5/25/2006 via Judy's Book
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. on 4/25/2006 via Judy's Book
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. on 3/9/2006 via Judy's Book
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. on 1/13/2006 via Judy's Book
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…

Where gear finds its second home by Brooke L. on 8/19/2005 via Judy's Book
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. on 8/16/2005 via Judy's Book
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. on 8/8/2005 via Judy's Book
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…
