Cleaning out my closet:

McHale Alpine Pack ...almost new.  This is a serious alpine pack, big enough
to carry ropes and a week's worth of gear (it will handle 90 # comfortably),
but can also be compacted down by removing the bayonets to a summit assault
pack.  Includes all the bells and whistles of Dan's serious packs including
separate zipper for sleeping bag compartment, bayonet system for variable
pack sizing, slip shoulder harness, double buckle hip belt (most comfortable
in the world). Huge side pockets great for holding pickets.  Pack has done
Baker, Rainier, Adam, but not much else.  It's been collecting dust for a
while as I've been focused on long distance hikes.  Includes a full
silicon-nylon rain cover. Cost was almost $700 new.  Happy to part with it
for $200 just to see it get used again (and frankly 8 packs is just too much
for anyone). Note that this pack would fit someone with approximately 18-19"
from hipbone to 3rd vertebrae (a large medium or a small large). Waist size
of about 32, though this can be changed.
