It's a nice place with friendly staff. Thanks. I see the location is also on their web site: Originally Posted By Elevation Welcome to Elevation, Sierra Adventure Essentials Inc, your neighborhood climbing/mountaineering shop located in Lone Pine, California. WE'VE MOVED!!!!!! We are now location at the corner of Whitney Portal & Highway 395 -- at the signal light! So is the old location now vacant? Orientation Notes for Whitney First Timers

I wanted to visit the shop again because last year I strolled in there on an evening walk down Lone Pine and on impulse bought a Marmot jacket from the very nice proprietor there. At first I was afraid she went out of business but there is a sign saying they moved down the street.

Get an early start on the weekend. Update: the hostel room was extremely nice, AC felt really good...I will definately stay there again.

As we pulled in to Lone Pine I saw the hostel and was able to stop and check it out. We all ended up spending the night and really enjoyed our stay. Just to get a soak in a tub, get cleaned up and get a good nites rest was great. Thanks Doug and all Lee
