I am going to be shooting the indoor climbing competition at our St. Paul facility this coming saturday. However, the lighting isn't exactly stellar and am looking for a little extra flash power. My options are as follows:

1. (OK) - Use my 580EX and off-shoe cord to allow for more depth with my lighting

2. (Better) - Borrow another 580EX and set it up on a tripod to allow for two light sources

3. (Best) - Rent a proper strobe with a radio transmitter

My only problem with the third option is that I have no experience with any of this type of equipment and am not sure what to get from the local rental store that I would use. I am including a link below to the PDF file of the items that are for rent from this store. Any advice on what to use from there would be greatly appreciated.

Well I've ended up being able to borrow sjafari's gear for the weekend which will include a 5D and a 580EX, so I should be ok. I might end up trying to get a hold of another 580EX to mount up high to balance the light out a bit.
