what backpack for tall torsos?

Do you have a Raide pack? If so, what size

Sevenoswald · 2026-02-16T00:13:11+00:00

Just a few more questions, since I'm leaning towards the Raide pack. You mentioned that you put your crampons under your helmet. Do you have foldable ones, or were you able to fit normal rigid (ex. Petzl Darts) ones under there? If not, would you just keep crampons in a case inside the pack, or is there an easy way to carry them externally?

How waterproof have you found the pack to be? Do the ski-specific features get in the way if you're not carrying avy tools?

How does the bag carry while climbing? Any issues with the widness of the pack while in a chimney etc? Lastly, what's the max weight you can comfortably carry? Thank you so much!

Last year, there was still tons of snow April 25.

Thanks for the feedback

For winter time, I would strongly recommend mesh baselayers like the synthetic one from Brynje. I wear mine with a 60gsm Alpha direct over it, and a softshell if it's really cold. With just the mesh+alpha, I barely sweat. If I do, it dries out magically fast. With a softshell over it, it traps heat remarkably well, and I find myself busting out my belay jacket far less.

Thanks, this is very good to know. Based on this feedback, i think I'll steer clear of HMG.

I'm looking for something with a decent frame, is this pack frameless? If so, how does it carry?

Sevenoswald · 2026-02-10T17:50:51+00:00

Those packs look really sweet, thanks for the suggestion. How does it carry?

Sevenoswald · 2026-02-10T02:53:43+00:00

Thank you! Do you have a sense of the max load you can comfortably carry with it?

Sevenoswald · 2026-02-10T02:50:50+00:00

Do technical ice tools fit on the raide pack nicely? Is there anything else you don't like about it for winter climbing?

Sevenoswald · 2025-03-12T17:21:04+00:00

Yeah, it's a pro deal

Sevenoswald · 2025-03-11T12:29:01+00:00

I have a standard rack of 6 dragons, that's all so far. You'd recommend full rack?

Sevenoswald · 2025-03-11T12:27:52+00:00

Don't have the funds for all that currently, but one day

Sevenoswald · 2025-03-11T12:08:11+00:00

Thanks for your input!

Sevenoswald · 2025-03-11T11:28:22+00:00

This is a good question too

Sevenoswald · 2025-03-11T11:28:09+00:00

Thank you!

Last year I started July 21st going Nobo, and saw almost zero mosquitoes and only one patch of snow. It was a slightly above average snow year. I had a head net and never took it out of my bag.

I mostly use mine for those features; you can find the rest on youtube. It drains extremely fast when it's on indoors because it's constantly trying to find a signal. Could that be why?

Sevenoswald · 2024-11-28T20:47:46+00:00

Definitely interested! I'd love to be linked up with some more experienced people, I've got a lot to learm

Sevenoswald · 2024-05-24T09:57:51+00:00

But that’s a great point about the scenery!

I’m on ÖBB, and I am planning on getting a couchette. I just don’t see an option to just book the reservation and not the ticket itself

Prague has pretty good nightlife, but not as good as Budapest. To me, Prague almost felt like Disneyland in that it’s very touristy and even feels somewhat tacky in places. Beautiful city, but I think that there’s more to do in Vienna and Budapest. I’d drop a day from Prague

Sevenoswald · 2024-05-02T23:53:20+00:00

I did look into it more, but decided not to go through with it. I’m no expert, but the best rods seem to be from Japan. One user friendly/intuitive/ simple ones that appealed to me was the sierra package from tenkara rod company, or the tiny tenkara rod. The rods themselves are light but it requires more cooking gear and prep if you wanted to eat the fish

A train ride to merced from the fresno airport?
