Crux AK 70 Rucksack

The AK70 is a large expedition pack suitable for climbs in the Greater Ranges. It can manage a heavy payload of 60-75 lbs (28-35 kgs) in tolerable comfort (we are not going to pretend that this ever an enjoyable amount to carry), but still remain light enough to be used for a summit push. Its large volume is perfect for stuffing in bulky frozen gear whilst semi brain-dead from oxygen deprivation and encumbered with massive, clumsy mitts. For such a big pack, it is remarkably light and is made from proper fabric (not this flimsy lightweight stuff) to impart a feeling of solidity and security to the point that some people have actually tried bivouacking in them (OK, they were desperate it's not really big enough).
