I imagine the HDPE frame sheet is removable; can anyone confirm this? I'm am looking to use the Silo as a summit pack, and will need to be able to fit this pack easily into my larger approach pack, so I would appreciate input on any other bulky features (such as foam built into the back panel).
Also, any word on how well it carries an ice axe?
Thanks for the help!

You can pull the framsheet. One other option to consider would be the Arc'teyrx Cierzo 35 (or 18). The Silo doesn't have a specific axe system (use the loop, and wrap straps), but the Cierzo 35 does. I've used the Cierzo a bunch and it's really light, packable (stuffs into it's lid) and stripable.
