I use this for everything except the longest or highest mountaineering trips. I used it on Eldorado, and it carried all the gear I needed and more. I had the rope, pickets, wands, tent, and all my personal gear, oh yeh, and a shovel, and it carried fine. It is only about 3000 cubic inches, but it has tons of compression straps. Some people don't like the straps, but you can strap pads, ropes, pickets, bear cans, and a hundred other things on the outside with the straps. I love this pack. A pity they don't make it anymore. If you have found one, I would definitely get it.
