The Mission 35 from Black Diamond is a durable top-loading alpine pack engineered for everything from summer alpine cragging to gear-intensive winter expeditions. Providing a balanced carry thanks to its reACTIV hipbelt and SwingArm should straps, the Mission is also fully strippable, with a removable waistbelt, lid and framesheet. The ice tool PickPockets, front crampon pouch and a tuck-away rope strap secure gear to the outside, while the drawcord skirt provides a second defense against spindrift and light precip.
