Ed Viestrus designed the Mountain Hardwear South Col Backpack for guiding on Everest. He wanted one pack to go from base camp to the summit, and this is it. Ultralight 100D Cordura construction and a super-clean design helps this large 4600cu inch pack keep its weight under four pounds. Need to go lighter Just take off the lid, remove the hip-belt, and strip the frame sheet to shave 1 pounds for that summit push. If Ed declares the Mountain Hardwear South Col Backpack good enough for the big E, chances are itll get the job done on your next Mt Rainier trip.
