At the risk of thread hijack, this seems to have been a pretty common problem for Gregory packs of a certain production run. We almost had to bail on a Liberty Ridge climb last year when the same failure occured to one of our party on the approach to Curtis Ridge. Luckily, the duck tape repair held for the next couple days...
