Our Take

When the 40L is too small for your ropes and rack, but the 100L is overkill, the Black Hole 55L hits the absolute sweet spot. We constantly rely on this duffel for multi-day trips to the mountain because it effortlessly swallows a sleeping bag, layers, and hardware while shrugging off snow and dirt at basecamp. The padded backpack straps are crucial for keeping your hands free during the walk to the bunkhouse or navigating a busy airport terminal.

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?

Patagonia

We stock Patagonia because they prove that performance and responsibility are not mutually exclusive. For decades, they have been the conscience of the outdoor industry, but more importantly for our customers, they build gear that simply works. From their legendary Regulator fleece to their bombproof shells, Patagonia equipment is a staple in our packs because it survives the abuse of the alpine environment season after season—and it’s all backed by their Ironclad Guarantee.
