Ascent 22 (Spring 2023)
Ortovox
Ascent 22 (Spring 2023)
$112.50
Description

  The ultralight and technical Ascent 22 is perfect for demanding days in the mountains. That’s why Ortovox has focused on what’s important and thought through every detail.

  This backpack is abrasion-resistant but still extremely light thanks to the nylon 100D Robic Ripstop. Despite this reduction in weight it still has high wear comfort: the foamed 3D back system distributes the weight evenly between the hip fins and the padded shoulder straps. Features such as the circular zipper that provides quick access to your equipment, a map compartment, hydration system compatibility, as well as a diagonal ski attachment, an ice axe holder and a rope fastening, make the backpack what it is: a technical, ultra-lightweight backpack for challenging ski tours.

  The Ascent 22 also includes an emergency card: in the case of an emergency, the card provides information about the injured person and therefore allows for faster and more efficient treatment.

  WARNING for California customers: This product can expose you to chemicals including dimethylformamide, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

Pro Skier Turns Nurse: TNF Athlete Muses on Career Changes, Self-Expression in ‘The War on Style’
  After podiuming at the Freeride World Tour, Hank Bilous wanted a change of pace. So, he decided to pursue a different passion for a while — medicine — and became a nurse. Both careers require extremely technical skill sets, and both frequently deal with life-and-death risks.   How did he translate his own self-expression from one to the other? And what does...
In “Terrible Beauty,” Auden Schendler Explains Why We’re Losing the Climate Fight—and Why We Have to Keep Trying Anyway
  Auden Schendler, one of the biggest climate advocates in the outdoor industry, doesn’t start his new book, Terrible Beauty, with any of the myriad lessons he’s learned over decades of environmental work. Schendler, who is Aspen One’s (parent company of Aspen Snowmass), doesn’t drop into scare tactics, or data, or the myriad ways global warming is harming recreation, business, and our...
Need Reading Glasses But Don’t Want to Look Old? You’re in Luck.
  As a touring bluegrass musician, Tim Parr was passing through Malibu, California in 2017 when he decided to shop for reading glasses. At age 49, the outdoor industry veteran who’d worked at Patagonia and founded a bike company (Swobo) had never worn glasses before. But, Parr says, his younger band members had been giving him a hard time for having...
Mountain Bike Bends Around Turns, Literally: Rocky Mountain Instinct Carbon 70 AXS Review
  Mountain bike design, especially suspension, involves managing tradeoffs. Weight, price, suspension travel characteristics, handling, and even pedal height (to avoid pedal strikes) must all be considered. The final set of compromises hopefully aligns with the designers original mission statement for the bike.   Rocky Mountain may have never received that memo, as its Instinct Carbon 70 AXS made it difficult to...
This Ski Resort Just Recorded One of the Largest In-Bounds Avalanches in Its History
  Mother Nature has provided another reminder that avalanches can occur on either side of a ski resorts boundary.   Earlier this week, patrollers at Colorados Steamboat Resort published images and video of a massive avalanche that swept down four closed runs on the morning of Wednesday, November 27. Nobody was injured in the slide, which occurred near the summit of 10,570-foot...
How Can I Make Off-Season Strength Training More Fun?
  Every Sunday afternoon I sit down in my home office prepping for next week’s clients directly in front of one of my favorite quotes:   “We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.”   While George Bernard Shaw has many famous expressions, the words “grow old” in this particular quote could be replaced by any...
ATV Versatility Meets UTV Utility: 2025 Polaris Sportsman 6×6 570 Review
  Why have four wheels when you can have six? Bigger is almost always better, right? The Polaris Sportsman 66 570 certainly isnt a little machine.   I wasnt initially sure how Id feel about an ATV with so much additional length. In the area I tend to rip around in, being nimble is a requirement for an ATV. Honestly, my first...
Is America’s Next Great Thru-Hike in Texas?
