The Crescent was my first big pack, and I learned how to fill every square inch of it! Fits me like a glove, handles (obviously) big loads well. My two week trip that got me to move to Bishop; resupplying friends on the JMT and bringing champagne to the summit of Mt. Bago; carrying all of my Pop's stuff up the main trail; snow camping from Gorgonio to North Lake.
I have a feeling the new Aether will be my long-term hauler. I should start collecting patches to sew on it.
Sheesh, I'm such a girl, getting all emotional about a pack...
