The Patagonia Ascensionist 55L pack is designed so you can comfortably carry everything you need for an extended stay in the mountains, including climbing with you through every move of your multi-day route. It has a lean, dynamic shape, which carries loads close to your core for climbing precision and support. The clean, stay-out-of-the-way design starts with lightweight yet durable 100% recycled nylon ripstop fabric with a 100% recycled polyester lining, a polyurethane coating and a DWR (durable water repellent) finish for durability and weather protection. Dual aluminum stays offer lightweight support for even the heaviest loads and provide stability for shifting contents; they move and flex with your body to preserve your natural climbing motion. The long spindrift collar has a dual closure to allow the pack to expand or collapse depending upon the load you’re carrying. The Ascensionist’s exterior has an adjustable ice-axe carrying system that keeps the sharp tips of your tools covered and removable compression straps for gear stability and quick options when you need to stow additional equipment. Inside, a handy hanging zipped pocket is useful for valuables and is equipped with a key fob. Other features include a three-point, over-the-top rope-carrying system, a tough haul loop, an adjustable sternum strap to accommodate layering and hipbelt pads that can be removed to lighten your load for the summit push. Unlike the 35L version, this larger sack has a lid with a roomy zipped top pocket - it is also removable should you want to reduce weight.
- Two aluminium stays offer lightweight support for the heaviest loads while still allowing the pack to flex with your body.
- With a removable lid, removable aluminium stays and removable hipbelt pads you can customise the Ascensionist for different objectives.
- 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 safe.
- The adjustable ice axe carrying system keeps sharp ice tool tips covered and accepts most tool shapes.
- The adjustable, removable sternum strap easily accommodates layering changes.
- Designed with modular, movable/removable compression straps to provide maximum gear-carrying versatility and load stability.
- The three-point, over-the-top rope-carrying system can be removed to further streamline the load.
