Six Moon Designs Backpack Review, Climbing Mt Washington, White Mountain Guide

Six Moon Designs Fusion 50 Backpack
The Six Moons Designs Fusion 50 is a lightweight pack with an adjustable length frame and multiple-sized hip belts so you can dial in a custom fit. Weighing 2 pounds 14 ounces, the Fusion 50 is noticeably different from most other ultralight-style backpacks in that it is capable of carrying 35-45+ pound loads, a weight range where most ultralight backpacks fail miserably.
While I enjoy hiking solo in the White Mountains in summer, there are a few trails that I won’t hike alone. The Huntington Ravine Trail is one of them. This trail is considered the hardest and most dangerous trail in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

Mt Washington Gear List
Mt Washington is a serious mountain with unpredictable weather. You can set out to hike it on a day which is supposed to be clear and sunny, but experience unexpected fog, high winds, rain showers, and even thunderstorms as you climb higher.
