I have the cilogear but it has yet to fire a shot in anger. My wife has a new BD Quantum which is also bloody light.
From memory the Aether is pretty light to begin with. For climbing Rainier, you may be best served saving your money.
otherwise hmm, I think the new MH packs are fairly light and can be stripped down to basically nothing.
