Great pack! Light and durable. I used it on an alpine seminar on Mt. Hood. I stuffed it for the approach hike to camp(including crampon inside) and used it with just neccesaties for the summit climb. The only issue is you have to cinch the top compression straps tight or the frame will "ride" too high inhibiting cervical/head extension IE looking up. The ice axe loops work well also.
