Allows extended and dynamic movement when climbing, skiing, and hiking with trekking poles. Now featuring integrated tool quivers.
Guiding Light was developed with New Zealand climbers. The Flow Motion systems improve your agility, extend your reach, and maximize your performance compared to any other pack.
The pack allows you to stow or remove tools without taking the pack off. The Rope Door allows you to feed in or play out rope as required. It doubles as a hydration port with new loops for holding your hydration bladder. The new integrated tool quivers provide instant access to ice tools, snow stakes, avalanche probe, trekking poles, or skis. New axe loops and slots for ice screw clips have been added to the hipbelt.
Add any model of Balance Pockets for a less fatiguing approach, or perfect balance when skiing. Add Balance Gear Racks to take the weight of climbing hardware off your shoulders when climbing.

"Unlike any other pack that I've used, this one does not inhibit one's motion. The shoulders and hips can move freely. After using the Aarn Guiding Light, most other packs I own feel as if they are locking me in a straight jacket."
