Patagonia made the 45L Ascensionist Pack with just the features you need most when you're pushing hard on an ascent. This ultralight pack loves the idea of ice-climbing in Ouray, ascending Aconcagua, or hiking for a week through Glacier National Park. Aluminum offers some structure but can come out when you don't want to fight both your pack and the terrain. Since this high-minded pack only has 1 point of access—the top—you'll want to put less-used items in the bottom. An internal flap draws up over the top and slips under the main collar to create a weather-resistant seal. The center sheath wants to hold your ice axe, no matter the size. Lots of daisy chain lash points give you external storage options when you don't want filthy ropes or mud-crusted crampons inside your bag. If you're only out for the day, use the compression straps to minimize bulk and maximize mobility.

Features:

• Spindrift collar opens wide for easy packing; drawcord simultaneously cinches collar and closes lid for a secure seal; additional spindrift collar deploys to protect your gear when you have overstuffed your pack
• Aluminum stays with trampoline center give the pack structure and help to support heavy loads, but can be removed for lightweight pursuits
• Pads on the hip belt can be removed to create a simple webbing hip belt
• Center sheath ice axe carry system accommodates a wide assortment of axes
• Daisy chains on front and side panels provide lashing options; compression straps on sides help manage different size loads
• Zippered pocket on lid provides easy access to small items
