The North Face Yavapai Backpack
Price: $74.95 - BUY

New slanted BackSaver Technology minimizes lower back strain. 1,850-cubic-inch capacity.

What or where you hike next Sunday depends on how you feel on Monday. That's why The North Face designed their compact 1,850-cubic-inch Yavapai Backpack with BackSaver Technology to potentially reduce lower back strain. The North Face developed their BackSaver Technology by angling the bottom of the pack to shift the pack weight closer to your back, making the Yavapai ideal for moderate backcountry loads with a large hydration bladder or big campus projects involving a stack of reference material. Inside you'll find a Universal padded sleeve that easily adapts to fit most laptop computer designs or hydration bladders. A front tool loop and lash point gives the Yavapai more technical backcountry potential than most similarly sized daypacks made by The North Face. This is a great pack for serious outdoor enthusiasts who can't quit their day jobs--yet.

Advice from the Crown of Africa experience:
"Conditioning -- The benchmark for checking your physical well-being for this climb is simple: Can you run 5 miles in 45 minutes? If you can do that, you are considered fit enough. If you can't run 5 miles, you better go see David Breashears' IMAX Everest and stay an armchair mountaineer. I didn't run great distances - never more than 20 miles a week. I did workouts on hills to strengthen my up-and-down muscles. I also hiked and, since it was winter in the Northeast, I snowshoed. I did not lift weights since we were 'Gentlemen Climbers' spoiled by a group of porters who were the best atheletes I have ever seen. I do ab crunches so that (I'm embarrassed to say this) my 25-pound day-pack didn't give me any back problems. If you'd like expert advise on how to condition for Mt. Kilimanjaro, check out the exercises shown here and the exercise plan developed by Dr. David Musnick, Sports and Internal Medicine physician and author of Conditioning for Outdoor Fitness. "
