We’re climbing Mount Elbert, the highest peak in Colorado (14,433′). Pack to left is the Vapor Trail, a super lightweight and versatile sack that Louie uses for every type of 1-day trip, from summer hikes to backcountry skiing adventures. Pack to rear is Alpine Vapor, sort of a beefed version of Granite Gear’s lightweight concept packs. It’s a beautiful alpine pack – at home anywhere. |
