What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"This is hands-down my favorite pack for big climbing days. The stand-up design makes loading and unloading way easier, and the recycled fabric is super tough. The rope carry is smart, and the metal hook doubling as a bottle opener is a nice touch when the day’s done."
Long approaches and gear-intensive climbs demand a pack that can handle it all, and the North Face Cinder 55L Backpack is purpose-built for the job. The North Face worked closely with climbing legend Peter Croft and other athletes to create a pack that blends simplicity, bomber durability, and dialed features for trad and alpine missions.
The cavernous 55-liter main compartment swallows racks, ropes, and layers, while the recycled polyester fabric—woven with unique factory-floor scrap striations—shrugs off abrasion from rock and grit. A stand-up design makes loading and unloading intuitive, and the durable metal 9-hook serves as both a secure rope carry and a bottle opener for post-send beers.
From side haul loops to daisy-chain lash points, this pack has a place for everything. The padded hipbelt and shoulder straps ease the load, and thoughtful touches like a fleece-lined top pocket and a secure-zip back pocket keep small essentials accessible. Whether we’re racking up for a long day on granite or hauling to a high camp, the Cinder 55 is ready.
