This is the Mutant Nimsdai 90 rucksack – named after Nimsdai Purja – the legend who climbed all 14 of the world’s 8,000m peaks in under seven months in 2019.
Nimsdai also then went on to become one of the first to summit K2 in winter without supplemental oxygen.
Osprey rucksacks were on his back for all of his achievements and this special version of the Mutant was born out of those adventures.
