Pack-Check – Sports Basement San Francisco (Bryant)

ByChris Casado, Co-Founder TSX Challenge

If you’ll be joining a TSX Challenge trek please join us at a pack-check near you. Bring EVERYTHING you plan on taking on your trek. At the pack check, your guides will literally pull everything out of your pack to ensure you have all that you need, and more importantly, they will work with you to lighten up your pack. If you’ll be using a TSX provided pack, bring your items in a duffel bag, they’ll size you up and fit you at that time. Pack checks should take no more than 15 minutes and will take place on a drop-in, first come first serve basis. Look forward to meeting you there!
