One day trekking to Laguna Torre
Glacier in El Chalten, Patagonia.
It was a 12 hour trek to visit the glacier and go ice climbing.
The bag weighed 14 kilos with all the rain gear, food, water and full
camera equipment.
It was so full that I was afraid it would explode. We had to cross a river on a single rope pulling yourself manually,
walking long stretches steep uphill and downhill on difficult terrain. Although the backpack was heavy, the comfort of carrying it was a delight,
the waistband is comfortable, the shoulder straps never get irritated, all
in all it was worth carrying the stuff.
