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

Why We Love The Cobra 65L Backpack

For exhilarating mountaineering and ice climbing adventures during the coldest winter months, the North Face Cobra 65L is an impressive choice. Designed to keep our gear both secure and organized, this backpack offers a range of features that we adore. Firstly, its semi-translucent fabric facilitates easy visibility of our equipment when everything is neatly packed inside. Additionally, the backpack is constructed from Teksever material, renowned for its exceptional durability, reduced weight, and excellent resistance against water and snow absorption. Moreover, the cleverly designated spots for ice-tools and axes enable us to carry such equipment effortlessly while keeping the picks comfortably protected. The external stuff-it pocket is perfectly designed to accommodate crampons, thereby preventing any potential damage to both the pack and the other gear. Moreover, the top of the pack features a rope carry system, which doubles as a convenient compression feature. Furthermore, the floating top lid boasts a zippered pocket that provides optimal accessibility for smaller items that we frequently need to reach during our expeditions.
