icegirl Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 I have the Lowe Alpine 40 litre Alpien Attack Summit. Great little pack, very similar to the Genie but it comes with it's own foam. Great packs, they force you to think light. Â Another vote for the Alpine Attack.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selkirk Posted July 27, 2004 Author Share Posted July 27, 2004 Ended up going with a Genie, and it ! Actually managed to jam enough stuff in it to pull off a short overnight a couple of weeks ago as well. And Paul K was right, definitely need the chest strap. If your looking to strap stuff on, I ran some cord through both daisy's and that worked well. Could probably run the cord throught the holes in picket if you wanted to. No real good way to carry one that I can see though. actually...... possibly take a cheap water bottle pocket (little nylon bag with a velcro thing to go over a strap, kind of like an ice tool holster with a bottom but bigger). Attach it to the ice axe loop, and tie the top down to the daisy??? Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 The Genie is OK, but the Golight Jam pack only weighs a few ounces more and will hold everything you need for a few days of alpine climbing. Who needs a summit pack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveLok Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 I am also looking into the Genie. Is there something to strap on a picket or two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoboy Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 no, the pack is clean, no side straps, read the post two above yours. Â I have overnighted with this pack, and as long as you go light, it is very comfortable. Â I have figures out 2 wicked ways to carry skis though.

selkirk Posted August 3, 2004 Author Share Posted August 3, 2004 You can always just tie the pickets to the daisy chain (run a piece of webbing through the picket holes). I looked into using for an overnight glacier climb but was a bit too small. Seemed like the pickets would stay put though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
