I think they key really is a great bag that distribute the weight evenly and doesn't get into your way of using the gear. The thing that I would be concern is the 10000 feet+. Our dinky little mountains only go up to 2000-3000 feet? May be you should go training up in higher altitude? I know I have to slow down quite a bit even just Santa Fe's 7000-8000 feet.
