I went to Climb High's Website and got this message:

Not sure what the story is but sad to see them go after 39 years. They made and sold some good stuff including one of the few Vermont outlets for Mammut Clothing and Gear.

That's too bad. I learned to rock climb on the indoor wall there back in 1988 or so. It was a great store.

anyone know any other local VT or online shops for discounted Mammut?

Not sure what your looking for. Also if you friend them on facebook or get on their email list they usually offer discount codes. If you are looking for something specific, contact skidmarks (this is the shop he manages).

Bump.

Just was reading on Mammut's site that Mammut bought Climb High in 2000 so that they could get a foothold in the North American climbing gear market (hence why they had SO much Mammut stuff). Climb High was the largest climbing equipment distributor at the time in the U.S. Hence why Climb High was phased out. Interesting.

That said, Climb High is still operated as an online retailer: http://climbhigh.com/

Not sure if it is still Mammut or if they sold that to someone else.
