Outside Buyer’s Guide 2010 Marmot Ascent 40

Can Take a Beating

The Ascent 40 was designed with climbing in mind; for example, it comes with a rope tarp. And while it does a fine job getting rope to the crag, we also loved it as an adventure-travel pack. That’s because the 2,450-cubc-inch Ascent is basically, as one tester put it, “a big, burly duffel bag with shoulder straps.” And that’s the beauty of it. The practically indestructible tarpaulin and PVC-free ballistic-nylon fabric and zippers are bomber, and, because you can tuck the shoulder straps and waist belt inside the pack, it makes a tidy package when tossed into baggage holds. It’s also tough to beat the price.


Ascent 40 Pack Reviewed by Professional Mountain Guide Keith Garvey

All Mountain Adventures guide Keith Garvey reviews Marmot's Ascent 40 backpack. Keith says: "This pack is made of a ballistic material that is bombproof and will last a lifetime. It's the best pack I've used for craggin' (doing single pitch rock climbs when lots of stuff/gear is needed). I could also see it as a great travel pack as the shoulder straps and waist belt come off to streamline the pack." See more of Keith Garvey at http://www.allmountainadventures.com.
