Mission 55 Backpack
Tough enough for the most demanding alpine objectives.
The Mission 55 Backpack is Black Diamond’s toughest alpine pack, dedicated to ice cragging, mixed ascents, and cold-weather expeditions. This workhorse balances the load-hauling comfort needed for the approach with a strippable design that sheds weight for the technical push to the summit. With a suspension system that moves with your body and dedicated storage for tools and crampons, it streamlines your transition from base camp trekker to vertical climber.

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.
