wsj3 Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 I hope this is the right forum to post this? I am looking at doing Rainier and Mt. Olympus in September or next Summer. I'm trying to select a backpack which is good for both backpacking and climbing. I have a lightweight alpining pack, but need something for a 3-5 day climb. Any recommendations? Quote
TheNumberNine Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Arcteryx Altra 75 is what I use. It's perfect for anything from a short backpacking trip, to a 3 day climb in the cascades all the way up to full on expeditions. It performed wonderfully under the massive loads we were carrying on McKinley. I'm a fan of the side zips to grab stuff that might be buried. I think my next pack will be the Naos 75... Check out Arcteryx stuff. Mainly Altra, Bora, and Naos series. http://arcteryx.com/Product.aspx?EN/Mens/Packs#Over_60L Quote
