Our Take

When the alarm goes off at midnight for a summit push, your headlamp is your absolute lifeline. We consistently rely on the Actik Core because it punches way above its weight class, throwing 600 lumens of brilliantly clear light while weighing a scant 88 grams. The hybrid battery system is a total lifesaver. You get the convenience and economy of a rechargeable battery at home, with the crucial backup option of using standard AAAs deep in the backcountry.

Why We Love It
Rosie Hust

Our guides trust the Actik Core because it perfectly pairs brilliant illumination with a long-lasting rechargeable battery that easily endures even the longest nights on Mount Rainier. It delivers plenty of lumens to safely navigate complex glacier terrain in the dark, all while efficiently managing its power supply. Paired with Petzl's hybrid battery system for crucial backup reliability, it provides the exact sustained performance and peace of mind our team demands on a demanding summit push.

“This headlamp is bright and has a long lasting rechargeable battery.”

Our Philosophy

We Simplify Outfitting

Whittaker Mountaineering was born out of the need for RMI to make sure their clients had the appropriate gear to get to the top of Mt. Rainier safely. After decades of trying, reviewing, arguing-over, and recommending gear, we can’t help but know what we’re doing by this point. We know what works, we know what doesn’t, and we use that expertise to stock our store. 

Who are these guys?

Petzl

Petzl has been at the forefront of vertical exploration for decades, pioneering everything from hands-free lighting to essential technical climbing hardware. We carry them at Whittaker Mountaineering because their entire lineup consistently delivers the intuitive, fail-proof reliability that climbers and mountaineers demand in the alpine. Whether outfitting a beginner with their first helmet and harness or equipping our guides with high-output headlamps and ice tools, Petzl provides the rugged, uncompromising gear our team trusts for any mountain objective.
