Ryan's Pack
Ryan at 14,200' camp w/ our ridiculously oversized packs. We had double carried up here but with no sleds, stupid! then we wanted to single carry down so we gave away about 6 days of food for 2 people (~25lbs) plus a gallon of fuel to this large Japanese group setting up next to our igloo. Thank god b/c after that we still had these huge packs that were 80-90lbs. good thing we were going down. Every party we met on the way down commented on how huge our packs were. keep in mind that each person coming up probably carried over 60lbs of gear w/ them when they saw us. 6/2/05.
