From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The Marmot (Dana Design) Astralplane is Marmot's largest pack, built on the bomber Arcflex frame. The Astralplane is for a separate reality. A place of ice, snow, wind and vast mountain ranges; the land above 10,000 feet. The Astralplane carries large loads in sync with your body -- making it the favorite of many wilderness school instructors and backcountry guides.Pack Features: Available in 5 frame sizes Interchangeable components to fit men and women, and custom-fit aluminum stay Two carbon-fiber reinforced stays carry the heaviest of loads with ease Two full-length side zippers Super abrasion resistant D2 fabric Side wand/water bottle pockets Lid becomes a lumbar pack Sleeping bag compartment can be retracted, reducing pack volume by 1200 cu. in.

Eliminate the heavy "crampon patch" on the top of the lid, and instead reinforce one of the back vertical pockets for crampon storage."

I only have a few minor complaints. First, the Astralplane is way too big."
