Our Take

When you are tasked with hauling a week's worth of ropes, tents, and group equipment up the mountain, a rigid, unforgiving pack will drain your energy before you even reach high camp. We consistently steer climbers toward the AMG 75 because its dynamic suspension and pivoting hip belt comfortably lock in massive loads while moving fluidly with your natural stride on steep, uneven glaciers. It is a meticulously organized, bombproof workhorse that our we trust to carry expedition kits efficiently without destroying your shoulders or throwing off your balance.

Straight From The Source

Why We Love It
Josh Geiser

The AMG 75 is built for climbers on multi-day mountain objectives, and it shows in the details. The external pockets and organizational features make it easy to pack methodically and access gear without digging through the main compartment, which matters when you are managing a rope team and need things where you expect them. The carry system is comfortable enough to handle heavy loads over long approaches, and the 75-liter capacity fits everything a climber needs for a classic Rainier summit climb without forcing hard choices about what to leave behind. Honest feedback from guides who have used both: the abundance of straps and pockets that make it so useful for climbers can also mean loose ends flapping around on technical terrain, and the pack stays large even when you are not carrying much. It is not the choice for fast and light objectives, but for the multi-day mountain experience it is hard to beat.

“The Mountain Hardwear AMG 75L perfectly matches size, durability, and comfort for the classic Rainier summit climb.”
— Josh Geiser, RMI Guide

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?

Mountain Hardwear

Mountain Hardwear was founded by industry rebels who wanted to make equipment that didn't compromise. We carry them at Whittaker Mountaineering because they consistently produce the "hardware" of the climbing world that are engineered to survive the most abrasive, intense conditions on the planet.
