Manufacturer: Rab
Climbing and mountaineering rucksack that if you only want one pack to do it all is surely the one. Light enough for summer cragging, but large enough capacity plus a floating lid for winter routes in the Highlands. Key features include zip side entry to avoid a frozen rope or crampons strapped under the lid etc.

The Rab Ascendor 45L mountain pack has the versatility you need for wide-ranging objectives. Lightweight, durable and capaceous all at once, you can strip parts off it that you don't need and adapt the cool features to perform exactly how you need it. A truly do everything climbing and mountaineering rucksack - this could be the one pack to rule them all.

Featuring a variety of carry options for ropes, skis, and axes, we love this rucksack for summer alpinism, scrambling and Scottish winter climbing, but it isn't overdoing it for rock climbing at your local crag, as you can get all of your kit including your; helmet, water and warm layers inside all at once. The 210D Robic Ripstop Nylon with Trishield Dura Coating fabrics used is highly abrasion and tear resistant, whilst it also has good levels of water-resistancy meaning you can go ahead without a rucksack liner (particularly useful if you want to use the handy side zip entry). The back system allows you to move freely and comfortably over a wide range of terrain, whilst the integrated RECCO®technology provides added safety in alpine environments.
