A streamlined essential for fast-and-light alpine missions.

The Speed 22 is the ultimate climbing companion for fast-and-light alpine missions where unrestricted movement is critical.

Built to withstand granite chimneys and ice runnels, this pack carries your essential tools securely while remaining light enough to forget you’re wearing it.

Our Take

This is the pack you want when you are the one leading the pitch. The Speed 22 is small enough to not interfere with your harness or helmet while climbing, yet robust enough to haul the essentials. We love the strippable nature; you can hike in with the frame sheet and hipbelt for comfort, then strip it down to a soft pack for the technical climbing.

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?

Black Diamond

Black Diamond has been outfitting mountain professionals for decades, building gear that’s tested on real climbs, not just in labs. We carry Black Diamond because their designs consistently deliver dependable performance where it matters most.
