On a trip a few months back to Aconcagua, I had two large red MSR bottles and MSR Dragonfly stove, all used many times and had no problem. I just buried it around other stuff and what someone else noted they were more interested in the crampons than anything else. I also had several lighters in my checked baggage.
Saturday I ran the White River 50 trail run. Had a bee stinging, 3 crap, puking, lost all hearing in my right ear good time. I was super trashed Sunday!!!! Great race, well organized, great racers....Hats off to all.
I second the Mchale's recommendation! You get custom fitted, the colors you want as well as the options that you want. If you want super light you can choose spectra fabric, strong and light. Mchale's are also super versatile, changing from an expedition load hauler to a summit pack is as easy as removing a couple of stays and slapping on the summit flap. My .00000001 cent.
I'm shooting for (3) days with stashes every 31 miles or so. Light pack and a bivy....Nothing too amazing, but it will be fun!!!!Probably wait until late September, less bugs, less tourons.
I'm a little late to help, but for everyone else heading that way....I saw a lowrider truck go their with no problem last week!!!! Just take it slow through the washout, the rest is bomber.
