45 & 65 Liter Wallpinist Haul Bag

I took this bag to the Kichatna spires in AK and was thoroughly impressed at how balanced it was in versatility and durability, all while maintaining a low weight. The terrain demanded a combination of big wall and alpine style tactics, where the wallpinist bag lended itself well to both, with a smooth transition between the two. The rock was exceptionally sharp and gritty, but by the end of the trip no holes could be found in the bag, and scuffing was minimal (except on the logo patch on the outside, looks bad a$$ though). I plan to use this bag for winter alpine and ice cragging as well, as it has all the typical features and fit, but with added durability compared to other bags I've used (eg. Mountain hardwear alpine light 50). The price point is high, but after running this bag on an expedition I expect a lot use out of it in the coming years.

I packed it with a really heavy load two hours up to a big wall and hauled the wallpinist up four pitches. I couldn’t believe how much stuff it fit inside and how comfortable it was to carry. For the weight, durability, and size it’s just an unbelievable value and I’ll never go back to a heavy haul bag again!
