Ok so i'm going to Elbrus this year and am about to purchase a duffel, the only thing is I don't know what to get. Brand and Size. im looking at the First Ascent 80L and the North Face Base Camp 90L. I know both are large but if I don't get something 70cm or longer then where do I put my ixe axe? (70cm).
So my qeustion is when yo uguys go on an expedition, where do you store your axe? In your duffel? In qhich case ill need to go a large of 70cm or longer. If not I can easily get the smaller ones.
To make matters worse im also doing this trip as a part of a 4 week vacation so ill have a normal 70L backpack as well + a day bag. So the duffel will be a third bag, obviously the smaller the better.. but the ixe axe situation is my only show stopper.
any thoughts? suggestions?
cheers guys
