4 pitches in: sun, outstanding views for miles, and move after move of really good climbing. Some people can’t understand why we do this, we can’t understand why they don’t.

Gnarl is a 15 litre climbing pack designed to fit your essentials for a day out hiking, a long mountain scramble, or a big old multi-pitch climb. 

It’s the slim shape (with compression straps) and uncluttered feature set that makes Gnarl ideal for activities where manoeuvrability is important – think that awkward first pitch in Twll Mawr or a ‘shuffling-on-your-bum’ section of the Aonach Eagach ridgeline. Incredibly durable fabric with a reinforced base makes Gnarl plenty tough enough to cope with abrasions and rubbing against rock. A DWR coating gives your stuff a bit of protection against those unexpected showers. 

Gnarl sits high on your back above your harness for a comfortable fit when tied in. The 3D mesh back panel is breathable and comfortable and an internal stiffener that protects your back from sharp items and distributes weight evenly. A repositionable sternum strap let you get a secure and snug fit, keeping the shoulder straps in place as you climb. 

Gnarl features a zipped main compartment with a hydration sleeve (fitting a 3 l bladder), hanging loop, hydration port, and zipped valuables pouch. A small second pocket is accessible from the outside - ideal for clipping your keys or stashing a map or topo - and the 2 side stash pockets are handy for food or other bits you’ll need as you go. Stowable rear loops and adjustable bungee retainers for your poles or ice axe give you a bit of external storage too.
