Before and after photos of the 11 ounce VERTO 26 by North Face. If you are going fast and light this looks and feels like the ticket. I am geared up for pre-dinner laps on the NCS crag, and in the VERTO are: gloves, wind jacket, helmet, 11mm rope, soloist, harness, light rack, trekking poles, and a water bottle. At $65 it's a steal, and after you stuff it into the pocket pouch, it makes a great pillow! (If this had been winter there would have been additional space for crampons, a belay jacket, and two ice tools.)
