White Light/White Heat

 THE ALPINIST MOUNTAIN STANDARD REVIEW

White Light/White Heat: Ice Climbing. Groveling. Screaming Barfies. If this sounds like a good time this pack is for you! It's my most popular climbing sac.

The perfect sac for lightweight alpinism, or as a seconds pack for long ice routes. If you want a top loading version, with a removable lid, check out the New Day Rising pack.

  THIS PACK IS AVAILABLE CUSTOM SIZED BACK LENGTH AND hip belt. THERE IS NO REASON TO MAKE DO WITH A POOR FITTING PACK. I CAN ACCOMMODATE PEOPLE WITH 13" TORSO TO TALL MEN WHO NEED 23". THERE IS NO EXTRA CHARGE FOR CUSTOM FITTING. IT JUST TAKES A WHILE...

• sizing notes: If you plan to wear this with a harness on and climb wearing the pack, measure from where you want the bottom of the pack to sit in relation to your harness to top center of your shoulder. For normal mountaineering use I'll need the length of where you like your pack to sit on your back to the top center of the shoulder, but don't wrap the tape over your shoulder. This may not be on your waist or over your hip bone. Our padded hip belt is 3.5" wide, narrow enough to allow you to lift your legs while postholing but wide enough to help transfer so of the load. It's fully removable for climbing.
