Went in for a trail map and the male clerk refered me to the woman/girl. She knew what map to get but was less than helpful on directions except to say did you find it. When I asked about white water rafting outfitters the male passed me to the so called "expert" again the same woman/girl. She gave me the name of the biggest outfitter in the area and was less than willing to share other information, but did name all the rivers running. She than took off to the back office without even cashing me out, telling the guy to handle it. Later I overheard her complaining about the stupid questions from customers and how that is ruining her day. I guess that was me. Maybe the expert needs a new expertise. The friendly ones where the poodle dog and the woman who said goodbye.

We had a great experience here while we were visiting Asheville! I love the layout of this store, it has the essentials without being overwhelming. The service was excellent!! The prices were very competitive (we got a better deal on both of our backpacks than on Amazon)!! I was really impressed. It was a very laid-back atmosphere. We ordered a couple of beers and shopped. We even lost track of time and ended shopping for 45 minutes past closing, and the gentleman just let us shop and didnt say word! I really cant say enough good things about this place! Im sure well be back!

My complaint with Black Dome is their prices and selection. Everything in this store is more expensive than their competitors and the selection they have is not nearly as good. Its convenient if you live in mid Asheville and might be worth the inflated price instead of driving to Diamond Brand, Frugal, or REI. I guess a good thing about Black Dome is that once you tell the annoying staff that you dont need help finding a particular item, they wont come back and bother you again, unlike REI where 5 different people will try and sell you a damn membership.

Very good experience. Was looking to buy my first pair of rock climbing shoes -so I would no longer rent mediocre gym shoes- and have had no luck in 4 different retailers. A very knowledgable staff member helped me try on all of the shoes I wished and gave great advice and helped me find a great shoe that I would never have otherwise tried on. The only reason I gave it 4/5 is that the prices are high compared to some other outfitters. In sum: extremely friendly, patient, and knowledgable.

This place is amazing. There are a lot of great gear shops around town, but I usually go out of my way to get what I need from BD. The selection is great for what is a relatively small store, and in my experiences the staff has been super friendly and highly knowledgeable. Keep it up, Black Dome!

Great selection, found exactly what I wanted. The staff were very knowledgeable. I dont get the high price comments from the other reviewers since I found the North Face jacket to be the exact same price as the North Face and Dicks Sporting Goods sites.

A great spot for gear selection, knowledgable staff. Everyone there who has helped me has been professional and just really nice in general. Best shop of its kind anywhere around....thanks, guys!

Im done with Black Dome and will spend my money elsewhere. Sales associates consistently ignore potential customers, instead preferring to chat among themselves behind the counter.

Knowledgeable real people not the robot kind. They have good pricing considering it is in person retail. Nice selection of tents and most were on display during my visit.

I have definitely got a great selection of outdoor gear for camping hiking and anything else you need it is a little pricey but you pay for quality

This place is worst than Mast General, prices are so unreasonable, wonder how they stay in business. Everyone are not Millionaires!!!!

Everything you could ever imagine to need for the outdoors, friendly knowledgeable staff and beer taps to boot.

Cool place, is as technical as you need it too be. Has all the stuff a person would need to climb Everest.
