I just bought this pack and loved everything about it except for the fact that it killed my shoulders. I had crampons, a shovel, a probe, 3 liters of water, other gear and snowshoes an my pack. I climbed a Colorado 14er with this pack for the first time which is why I wanted it for but even though I balanced the weight of it on my hips, it still seemed to hurt my shoulders very badly. Am I just a pussy or am I doing something wrong? Has anybody else had this problem? None of my other packs hurt my shoulders like this pack.

Sounds like a good amount of gear for that pack. I've loaded mine to the max and it's not the most comfortable either. I go with the 42L Anarchist for heavier loads. Could just be we are both pussies though?

I had the same problem while hiking with my 32 L Anarchist today, except only on the strap with the avalung tube in it. I havent figured out if it was adjusted wrong or what, but i was getting sore after a short hike.
