Roger didn't have the option to wait, but for those who can, there is a very 
good store in Bishop for all your hiking needs. It's called Eastside Sports. 
They also do on-site boot repairs if that's what you need. 

No, I don't get a commission. When thru-hikers wanted a new sleeping bag 
before heading into the Sierras last year, Lone Pine offered nothing but 
Coleman bags. We drove to Bishop and found just what they needed. (As a 
bonus, there is a great Mexican Restaurant just across the street from 
Eastside Sports.)

If you happen to be in Lone Pine, there is daily bus service to/from Bishop. 
That might be a better option than leaving the PCT via North Lake/South Lake.
