Patagonia Ascensionist 55L Climbing Backpack

Inspired by their ambassadors' requests for a bigger climbing pack, Patagonia have designed the Ascensionist Pack 55L for long approaches, lightweight expeditions and full-on missions into the alpine with a streamlined and ultrafunctional gear hauler design.

A 55-litre backpack full of functionality and features, the Ascensionist 55L is great for the mountains and more. The pack has a large compartment allowing you to store the bulk of your items and an internal hanging pocket helps to keep your essentials organised and easily accessible. Although the pack has a large amount of storage for you to stash and store your belongings, the bag has a dual spindrift closure, which allows the pack to expand or collapse, depending on how much you want to pack away. The backpack also has multiple outer storage options, including an ice tool carrying so you can carry most axe shapes. To make the pack easier for you to carry, the bag has an adjustable sternum strap, which can also be removed, a removable framesheet and hip-belt pads, which provide you with a lightweight carrying option, and removable compression straps for maximum gear-carrying versatility. Not only this, but the bag has a three-point, over-the-top rope-carrying system, which can be easily removed to streamline the load.
