If you need more than this for your winter climbs up Whitney or Denali, then you're carrying too much. Enough room for a tarp, a few eggs, and your down parka:

Patagonia Atom Sling Pack. Like new. $55 shipping included.



Bonus: cell phone pouch to tell the wifey or dirtbag boyfriend "Summited Denali. Will be home in a hour. Get the steaks on the grill!"

I liked your first title better "Hardcore Alpinists". How many GU gel packets do you think can fit in in the cellphone pocket next to my phone?

didn't want to exclude the non-hardcore crowd. i think 7-10 GUs could fit. heck, my GF used to use this pack, then she told me "SELL IT! too big... i'll just climb with just my gatorade bottle in my hand." she puts me to shame.
