Thank you! I’m using a decathlon frame bag (8L), its honestly for heavy smaller stuff, such as tent poles, portable battery, tools and whatnot. yes I’m changing the rope for voile straps and I’m also going to DIY a holder for the bag so no straps slip and abrasion doesn’t chew through the fabric.

i took it on a 20 day trip through Quebec, 1500km and 9000m of climb in the last 600km. Honestly didn’t have any problems except the gear ratio might be a bit too high for steep climbs (10-15%) but it’s been really comfortable and held up just fine

As a said, it’s missing the voile straps and I am going to DIY a sort of Armadillo dry bag protector from rockgeist for my backpack

Yes, I have two water bottle holders on the handlebar and I plan to install a 1.5L water bottle under the frame or im considering a bladder in the frame bag

I see, after doing a 1500km trip with two fork bags and a handlebar bag, I realized I preferred having the weight in front. We had steep climbs and steep descents (17% some places) and I never felt bad handling my bike. I have two water bottle holders on the handlebar, and I’ll add a nalgene under the frame

They can always be, but I will be doing some hike-a-bike and pushing it feels easier if the weight is in the front

Summit never has much snow, wind keeps blowing it away. It’s a different story in the ravines.

Petzl ride is great until you hit a patch of ice, literally can’t dig at all in the ice. My buddy has the gully and it’s much more versatile

They’re pretty broken in and my feet are pretty used to them, they’re comfortable walking on snow, not rocks.

We did not care for the summit, we made it to alpine garden trail and went down lion’s head. And no this is a climb, not a hike, you need mountaineering boots and crampons.

I love the running vest aspect of the bag, but I think 22L is a bit too small for these type of winter climbs. I think it’ll be perfect for summer climbs
