I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Description

Introducing the Black Diamond Distance 15L Backpack:

Experience the ultimate companion for fast and light mountain missions with the Black Diamond Distance 15 Backpack. This innovative hybrid pack combines the functionality of an alpine-worthy daypack with the comfort and mobility of shoulder straps inspired by running vests.

Engineered with Black Diamond's stitch-less Edge Taping Technology, the shoulder harness eliminates chafing, allowing you to focus on your adventure. The ventilating back panel keeps your back cool and ensures a close-to-body fit, perfect for scrambling and running technical ridgelines.

Convenient external gear attachments and easily accessible stretch pockets provide easy access to your ice tools, trekking poles, devices, and snacks. Crafted from Dynex, a material that is ten times stronger than steel per weight, this backpack is supremely durable without adding unnecessary weight.
