For skiers taking on the most challenging mountain lines, the Black Diamond Cirque 35 is the perfect mid-sized ski mountaineering pack, offering a lightweight, minimalist design with all the essential features. Built to keep you streamlined while carrying everything you need, the Cirque 35 is ideal for technical alpine objectives.
Crafted from durable 210D nylon with Dynex™ grid fabric, this pack is engineered to handle rough backcountry conditions while remaining impressively light. The roll-top main compartment provides easy access and extra security, while an external avy tools pocket with drainage holes keeps essential safety equipment within reach. For quick transitions, the side-access skin or ski crampon pocket is a game-changer, allowing you to stash items without removing the pack. The Cirque 35 offers versatility with A-frame and diagonal ski carry options, along with vertical snowboard carry compatibility for mixed equipment days.
Comfort is prioritized with stretch-woven shoulder straps and a padded waistband, making extended hikes and rugged approaches more manageable. For steep sections, the PickPocket™ piolet/ice tool carry provides secure storage for tools or piolets, while a stowable helmet carry frees up space for easy storage. Multiple pockets and a side compression/top rope carry strap add further functionality to this well-thought-out design.
