The roomy Mountain Hardwear South Col 70 pack hauls alpine and climbing gear on single or multiday climbs. Its light and flexible design is perfect for climbing expeditions.

Pack weight can be reduced substantially by removing the framesheet and top lid, and swapping the padded hipbelt for 1.5-in. webbing hipbelt (included)
Alpine suspension offers stability, comfort and support; light and strong hollow-core center stay allows extra flexibility when climbing
Dual-density foam padded shoulder straps and hipbelt distribute load evenly for maximum comfort
Compression-molded back panel sheds snow and enhances ventilation and comfort
Removable framesheet provides support and keeps the back panel flat
Top-loading main compartment features an under-lid rope attachment
Hydration-compatible design features a reservoir pocket and twin drink tube exit ports for on-the-go hydration (reservoir sold separately)
High-durability front panel resists damage from ice axes, crampons and rocks
Compression straps with glove-friendly buckles secure your load, shrink unused pack volume and tuck away inside a front panel pocket when not in use
Reinforced 3-point haul system, center daisy chain and ski loops let you attach alpine gear to the outside of the pack
The Mountain Hardwear South Col 70 pack is made of a 100-denier SilSeal Cordura® body, Dyneema® polyethylene front panel and 840-denier ballistic nylon bottom

Imported.

Comments about Mountain Hardwear South Col 70 Pack:

Anyone considering this pack should understand that this pack was designed for mountaineering and not just casual family treks. The pack will get large loads to camp and then strip down for summit day. It's a fantastic pack for it's intended use.

Tip: Do Not wait until summit day to remove the framesheet because the first time it's such a tight fit that it's very time consuming. I actually ended up trimming mine so I could adjust my pack faster. Trying to do it for the first time in a cramped cold tent would be pretty rough.

Comments about Mountain Hardwear South Col 70 Pack:

amazing backpack, I was able to perform fairly complicated hiking route with extreme elevations ( both up and down ), and had no issues. backpack weight during that hike was about 30lb, and i didnt even feel for a moment that i wish i would pick something else.one criticism, is that you have to buy rain cover separately, and even though it is [$], i think it should of being included with this pack due to its price tag.another issue is single zipper, so you cannot get to your content at the bottom, you have to take everything apart. and final wish, is that this pack would come with a little more instructions, so you can see what certain things are intended for, as i couldnt figure out for the life of me, why the heck certain straps were setup the way they are.all in all, it is awesome backpack, that i would recommend to pretty much anyone
