From scaling icefalls to braving thin air for the ultimate summit grab, the Scepter 50L adapts to the mission. For increased mobility and functionality as we climb, we remove the hip belt padding for a more low-profile fit and to expose two ice clipper slots. When we're spending days postholing through deep powder, we cinch all 5 compression straps tight to pull our load in close and let the dynamic frame sheet and hip belt do the rest. However we send it, the rugged materials don't flinch at the harsh conditions we slog into.
