    I'd question this as well. Especially as many climbers
    prefer to wrap the hipbelt around the back of the pack
    to very deliberately keep it out of the way when they're
    doing technical stuff up steep ice! I was actually told
    this may well be preferable by a Glenmore Lodge
    instructor on a winter skills weekend.

    I'm interested to know the reasoning behind this ?

    Same reason that belted jackets and outside drawcords went
    out - they are quite easy to catch on small excrescences of
    rock and thus throw you off balance.

    Good reason for a heavy maul...


    Go on, give him the third degree.
