English: This is a fine place to get good advice on climbing gear - you will pay more than REI, but you will also get the right gear. (I have got both good and bad advice at REI - it's a bit erratic and it seems to be more focused on fashion these days). I bought a pair of new gloves (must have tried five different types.) I bought a pair of Outdoor Research StormTracker Gloves. I also have found Second Ascent in Ballard to have very good climbing gear and advice.

Originally (1927) it was the Rodgers Tile Company warehouse and shop. It is one of the rare examples of a Spanish eclectic warehouse/storefront building in Seattle. It was later the home and studio of artists Nicolai Kuvshinoff and Bertha Horne Kuvshinoff. Nicolai Kuvshinoff "appears to have painted" religious murals in the nearby St. Spiridon Orthodox Cathedral, where his father Reverend Vasily Kuvshinoff officiated. As an artist, Nicolai Kuvshinoff had some international renown. Other tenants have included Kelly Floor Coverings, the Hall Scott Motor Car Company, the Matt Talbot Center and the New Hope Center, and the 911 Contemporary Arts Center.
