A cross-discipline climbing pack that’s also ready for long ski tours.

Crossing half-mile slide paths goes by a little quicker now that you’ve packed up your alpine rig into and onto the Mountain Hardwear Via Rapida 35 Backpack. Some places you just don’t want to hang out, and with this compact top-loader you won’t have to thanks to its large, stowable front strap that condenses the main compartment into a tight and manageable load that’s easy to carry.

Details

  • Two hollow stays add the structure you need to carry 45-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
  • 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 250 cubic inches (4L) of extra space during expeditions
  • Ski straps and a shovel-friendly front pocket secure your gear for ambitious descents
  • A front daisy chain, ice axe straps, and multiple side compression straps provide a variety of external carry options
  • Item #MHW1773
