The Ascendor 35:40 is your ultimate sidekick for all sorts of adventures, whether you’re tackling mixed rock routes in summer or winter, climbing ice walls, or hitting the slopes for some ski mountaineering. This pack is super adaptable, allowing you to switch from hauling all your gear to a lightweight summit bag on those fast-moving days.

Perfectly positioned in the Ascendor lineup, this 35:40 model shines during fully loaded days or when you need to camp overnight. It's designed with a top lid and zipped side access for quick gear retrieval, plus specialized lower ski loops that let you carry your skis in an A-frame position. Crafted from durable, 50% recycled materials for the sides and base, it resists abrasion like a champ, while the 35% recycled fabric used elsewhere keeps it lightweight. Tough against tears and water, this rugged pack is equipped to handle all types of conditions.

With plenty of points for gear attachment and features including double ice axe carry and compatibility for a hydration bladder, this is the all-season mountain pack you’ve been looking for. We’ve managed to keep the weight low without sacrificing functionality, with many features that you can easily remove. You can strip out the spring steel frame and internal HDPE sheet to customize the pack’s weight, stiffness, and fit depending on what you’ve got planned for the day. The hip belt is also adjustable, allowing you to unsnap the webbing and padding for ultra-light excursions.

Designed for a close fit that supports free movement over tough terrain, the Ascendor 35:40 boasts a molded back panel that sheds snow and side compression straps to keep everything secure. You can easily open and close it using a strong metal hook, or completely remove the lid on those lighter days, securing it with a large compression flap that pulls the weight closer to you for a better carry. This flap doubles as a rope strap, shielding your gear from the elements when the lid's off.

The Ascendor 35:40 ticks all the boxes for your mountain escapades. Its smart design, multi-functionality, and comfy fit make it a solid option for any daring adventure in the wild.
