does anyone know where we could buy second hand/used bouldering crash pads? or maybe where to rent one?

we've just arrived in san francisco and are planning on going to yosemite valley for a week or two. We don't want to spend too much money on gear because we would have to leave it in the states when we go back to austria.

I'd maybe try calling around to local gyms and see if any members have a pad posted for sale on the boards there.

Either that or buy a cheapie Mad Rock pad and sell it on Craigslist before you go.

Have a look at this link for numbers of gyms and local gear shops:

I think your best bet is the gym thing however, unless a ST member can help you out with a loaner...

EDIT: Here's a better link to the gyms in the area:

Have fun!

REI in Berkeley rents stuff, though I doubt they have pads. Just in case, here's the contact info:

1338 San Pablo Ave (near Gilman)
Berkeley, CA 94702
(510) 527-4140

I'd loan you one if I owned one.
