"If I could give six stars, I would! Gorge Gear made it super simple and easy to rent the gear I needed for the Ashley Gorge Via Ferrata."

"The gear was stable, fully functionable. I felt super safe and it was in great condition. Even comes with a nice shorter carabiner you can attach while climbing instead of the bungees or with them which is really nice for taking a break and just hanging on some of the harder routes."
