Very tiny but extremely well-stocked mountain gear store! They have the BEST selection of gear Ive seen in quite a while; highly recommended.

I was really impressed with the quality of the gear I rented. In the past, Ive paid way too much for out-dated, damaged products. AAI provided me with up to date equipment (which was awesome). One of the guys in the shop said they rented good products with the hope that customers would buy them, and I really appreciate that. I would definitely rent from them again :)

Most comprehensive selection of alpinist gear and a very knowledgeable staff!

Best equipment shop in Fairhaven!

Theyve got what you need, it may not be huge and they may not have everything but everything theyve got they stand behind. Staff was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Rentals were excellent quality and hassle free.

AAIs equipment shop offers new, high quality mountaineering gear at reasonable prices. The staff are very knowledgeable, friendly and have a wealth of information for both the novice and experienced climber. They offer rental equipment and can help you plan a customized expedition no matter your skill level. We need more local, community minded options like American Alpine Institute. Always worth stopping in here first before going to bigger retailers. Fantastic customer service! Great resource!

Fantastic climbing shop. Very well equipped and staffed by experts. Customer service is excellent and these guys stock by far the largest selection of speciality gear in bellingham. Stop by if you interested in climbing at any level, mountaineering, backpacking or any outdoor activity. Christian and Tom will have you covered!

Small niche shop centered around rock, ice and expedition climbing gear. They have a great selection of rental gear. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable about the gear they sell.

Loved the selection there!! Would recommend!

These guys rock!
