i think this pack will be perfect for a bit of everything; weekend backpacking, alpine climbing, ice climbing, rock climbing, ski touring, etc. However, I am also a boarder and if I'm not splitboarding it and am hiking up with a regular snowboard, I need to know I can strap it to the back of this pack, vertically if possible. Anyone know if this thing can carry a board well? I guess when I splitboard and need to break out the crampons and tools I can break it apart and carry them a frame style like regular old skis (if they are narrow enough) but what about a regular board?
