I have been amused over the years at how the sight of my old Kelty frame pack draws in the other old hikers and climbers from the 60's and 70's. Great starter for trail conversations that can cover pitons, goldline and other classic gear.
As far as frame packs go, I believe the old early '70's Kelty's are as good as any ever made.
