Curious what other women are using for a pack when backpacking for climbing excursions? I'm looking for a pack that is lightweight but could handle carrying a bear can and climbing gear on top of the typical backpacking gear. I would be heading out with another person (maybe up to 2 others) so we'd be splitting all the gear and thinking my max weight with food/water/gear would be around 30-35 lbs max, but ideally under 30 lbs. I have a low-ish base weight of 10-12 lbs (assuming I can get a pack around 3lbs max) and would also be wanting to use the pack for regular backpacking trips sans climbing gear. Wouldn't be climbing with this on, I have an ultralight daypack for that.
Right now I'm looking at the ULA Circuit, possibly some type of Hyperlite, or maybe a Gossamer pack, but I like the suspension system of the Circuit more and the Gossamer doesn't seem as durable. CiloGear packs also look cool but I'm no alpinist and they seem hard to find. I'm also on the shorter size (5'2"; ~16" torso) so packs that cater to different torso lengths are ideal.
