Come on admit it,     I know you do!<\/p>\n<p>Packs come in all sizes and shapes. Some are lean and mean while others are fat and dumpy. However most of this is not due to the pack; it is what\u2019s inside that counts.<\/p>\n<p>This is the first in the series \u201cWhat\u2019s in Your Pack?\u201d where I will look at gear from simple day hikes to overnight trips to treks to Everest Base Camp then climbs to 8000m and above.<\/p>\n<p>But first,   lets take a look at packing for a simple day climb of a Colorado 14er in the summer and winter. It all starts with the so called 10 Essentials \u2013 those items you should always have in your pack.<\/p>\n<p>The term was coined by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mountaineers.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Seattle\u2019s Mountaineer\u2019s Club<\/a> back in the 1930\u2019s. Today they even have a book about the 10! The original concepts were simple and have been updated from items to systems.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 507px;\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\"><strong> 1930\u2019s<\/strong><\/td>\n<td align=\"center\"><strong>Today<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1.

I like smaller packs that are versatile and sturdy. I will trade a few extra ounces in return for flexibility. Currently I use a 55L (3350 cu in) Black Diamond Shadow pack that is a few years old these days. I use it both in the summer and winter.<\/p>\n<p>It is a bit heavy at 3+ lbs but I have used it on treks to base camp at Everest, Broad Peak, and Aconcagua and on 50+ 14ers. It is bomber construction and shows no wear. Crampons and axe straps are convenient and when loaded, it looks like a pack should look.<\/p>\n<p>Once on Denali I overheard a young guide<strong> <\/strong><em> <\/em>chastising his group &#8211; he was very concerned about appearances. He insisted that nothing dangle from their packs and all straps were secure. He felt if you looked sloppy then you climbed sloppy.<\/p>\n<p>I think he had a point.<\/p>\n<p>Next up: Spending the night<\/p>\n<p>Clmb On!<\/p>\n<p>Alan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever look at another climber\u2019s pack and wonder?
