What a gem. I had no idea I stubbled upon some Marc Andre clips… I’m in Juneau sizing up the towers every day from work and I think about him a lot. Peace be with you and Marc. Cherish those moments with him you had!
Mate who cares really. If you were 2000m up a route and saw a bag of gear that is needed you would do that same thing regardless of how bad the ethics are. Ultimately same result just different style. Like aid vs free it's all climbing.
Hello Tom, you did a real helpfull video. Maybe you can help me. I have a smiliar amount of gear and I am wondering how you fit everything in a 45L backpack. Did you use two packs? Thank your for your answer and good luck for the next advtures.
I suppose this video does what the title suggests but if you want any explanation about what to take, how to choose it, how best to pack it and why you might leave certain things behind maybe want to keep looking. If you literally want to know what’s in some random guy’s rucksack then yeah.. Stay nonchalant man..

CONGRATS Mr. Livingstone!!! Beautiful Video and GREAT ADVENTURE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHAPEAU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best Wishes.
Did this route in1975 alpine style in 4/5 days (one day of storm). and the secret to a very fast ascent is pre acclimatization, which is pretty easy in this region. Then it all depends how fast you can acclimatize to 20K.
ME makes a tupilak in a 30+ model, is 35 around where it expands to? Debating between the 37 as it looks like it carries like a much smaller bag and seems compressible vs the 30 as it is not clear how much the + is in liters. thanks
Yes, each pack expands about an extra 5 litres. They all compress and expand pretty well... I guess the question is, 'how much do you want to carry?' I find the 37 to be the most versatile.
lots of questions but how much does the 37 compress? is it saggy when compressed (the gen 1 pata. ascensionist kinda sucks when compressed). if it compresses well I would love a higher range pack. im looking to do the cassin ridge with a "nap" at 17,000ft and my 20L is overstuffed to where its just a pain. Appreciate the feedback!
I think I had a 30L pack for the Cassin on Denali. Most of the time I use the 37 on multi-day routes, though. I think all lightweight alpine packs are either totally stuffed (whilst approaching) or only half full (when climbing)!
