Quest Summit I
The Summit I has been discontinued. If you're looking for something new, check out the best weekend packs for 2024.
This is the best pack I've ever owned. It can carry all your gear for a day of climbing or several days on the trail. It has a beaver pocket, an ice tool/shovel holder, and tons of places to clip stuff (including skis). I don't think any abuse could hurt this pack.
