A mountaineering pack built for summit bagging and ski descents.

Your next expedition has to start somewhere. But wherever country your feet are standing in when you start, you know that your Mountain Hardwear South Col 70 Backpack will be packed to the brim with the tools and supplies to get you up and over the summit. The South Col goes beyond simple storage; the Alpine Suspension system allows you to comfortably carry up to 60 pounds of gear over rugged terrain and lets you trim the pack’s weight.

Details

  • Two hollow stays add the structure you need to carry 60-pound loads and can be removed for lighter alpine quests
  • Removable HardWave framesheet keeps the pack flat on your back for a comfortable and predictable carry over goat paths and creek crossings
  • Low-bulk waist belt redistributes the majority of the load to your powerhouse legs and can be swapped out for an included web belt when putting on a climbing harness
  • A large, stowable front strap condenses the main compartment when you’re carrying a smaller, low-bulk load
  • The removable top lid features a rope strap for alpine climbing trips and utilizes glove-friendly compression straps to shrink the load on the go
  • FlapTop design means that the pack remains weather-resistant with or without the top lid attached
  • Pack extends to provide up to 500 cubic inches (8L) of extra space during expeditions
  • Ski straps, ice-axe loops, and a shovel-friendly front pocket secure your gear for ambitious descents
  • Item #MHW1771
