Our tried-and-true on-route alpine pack, proven everywhere from the Canadian Rockies to the Fitz Roy massif, the Black Diamond Speed is designed for lightweight performance on rock, snow and ice objectives the world over. Fully strippable with a removable waistbelt, lid and framesheet, the Speed is comfortable on the approach and streamlined on the route. Ice tool PickPockets, snag-free crampon straps and a tuck-away rope strap secure gear to the outside, while the drawcord skirt provides easy access and keeps out spindrift and light precip.

The Black Diamond Speed 30 comes in two sizes, S/M (1.14kg, 28L capacity) and M/L (1.16kg, 30L capacity). Despite my spider monkey 178cm build, the M/L is what fits me.
The Speed 30 has an adjustable/removable top lid, rope strap, and crampon/whatever straps. The ice axe attachment is one of my favourite, a small sleeve for the picks, a buckle to keep the head planted and a velcro loop for the shaft.
