Based on the instructions at the McHale site, my spine is 20" (from the 7th cervical vertabra to the medial area of the illiac crest). I would recommend the site to anyone seriously thinking about buying a McHale pack. Thank you, Vickers, for the link. Unfortunately, it was the only part of your rant that was useful, informative, and accurate. Originally, I had wanted to sell this pack on consignment at the American Alpine Institute here in Bellingham. They recommended this site, telling me that I would have better luck. So far, it has been "interesting". Now.. I think I will pour myself a fine Cabernet, retire to my dacha in Nigeria, and count my bogus money orders... ;-))

I'm 6' 2", but unfortunately Dan McHale didn't tell me if I have a long or medium sized torso. I hope this helps...

McHale Inex Alpineer Bayonet pack. 7000+ cu. in. Used once. Excellent condition. Includes pack cover and crampon bag. Side compartments are removable. Top can be removed and used as a day pack. Internal stays can be removed to convert to a smaller load. An outstanding pack. $450. Cash only. If you want to see a few pictures, the ad is also posted on craigslist.com (for Bellingham, WA).
