Rock and Snow Annex,

New Paltz, NY 12561

"My first time here, I understand Rock and Snow to be a community giant here in New Palsy, having supported and contributed much to the climbing community. The annex had a ton of used or almost new outdoor gear from snowshoes, bags, shoes, harnesses, clothes, and more. Calling it a thrift store feels very odd to me however as the prices were barely thrifty even when compared to top shelf retail prices. I guess it's more like a thrift store in that the products are hit and miss; you might find a really great pair of pants, but none like that in your size. My climbing boyfriend did insist on getting me a pair of La Sportiva boots that I adore, though I never would have paid what he did for them!"

"Great store, great staff. Big community contributor. Rock and Snow is part of why the NP community is so great. More than just a place that sells great gear."

"It's kind of a weird place. It has the feel of a really cool West Coast second hand outdoor gear shop, but the prices are really high and the selection is kind of hit or miss."

"Got to love the annex! Decent prices on used and new (sample) clothes and gear. I feel like you always find something when you go in. They have shoes, socks, clothes, camping gear, ski gear, bags and every so often, crash pads. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I love to stop here every time I am in town."

"The legend continues. The Rock and Snow Annex is a great place to buy or consign gently used outdoor gear and clothing. Same friendly (and helpful!) staff. Consignors can use credit toward gear purchases—a huge plus. I love trying out new gear but end up with too much. It’s great that someone else gets to enjoy it after I have, and it is a little bit better for our planet."
