Arc'teryx Acrux 50 Backpack - 2620-2990 cu in
Great bag, but a bit pricey

If you want a bomber, waterproof 2-3 day mountaineering pack, this may be just what you're looking for. You can fit enough gear to spend multiple days on an alpine climb, but the padding is rather minimum, so I'd watch the weight.
The waterproof aspect of this bag is interesting. Its actually a bit of a challenge closing the bag because the air gets trapped inside when you roll down the top. If air can't get out, you probably can't much more waterproof than this pack. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to use this pack canyoneering or packrafting. I'm that confident in the material.
