The uber-functional Ascensionist Pack 35L is the Goldilocks of alpine climbing packs—big enough to get you into the mountains yet small enough so you can still climb efficiently.

Features

• The tall spindrift collar has a dual closure that allows the pack to expand or collapse, depending on the load
• The internal hanging pocket keeps your small essentials organized and easily accessible
• Patagonia's adjustable ice axe‒carrying system keeps sharp ice tool tips covered; it accepts most tool shapes
• The adjustable, removable sternum strap easily accommodates layering changes
• Designed with modular, removable compression straps to provide maximum gear-carrying versatility and load stability
• You can remove the framesheet and the hipbelt pads to make the pack even lighter for the final summit bid
• The three-point, over-the-top rope-carrying system can be removed to further streamline the load
• 1lb 15oz
