The thought of using pack animals would certainly make life much easier though!
I first learned that about Adams after I made a photograph (two, actually) of Precipice Lake, the subject of a somewhat well known photograph of his. (Though I regard it as being far from his best work.)
I had hiked up there, arriving on the morning of my third day, and I mused about how difficult it must have been for him to hump all his gear up into that saddle. I did a bit more research, discovered that he had made the shot, IIRC, in the 1930s, and that he had taken pack animals there - which makes since in that it would be a 5-7 day out and back for most people.
Oh, and "fine" is not "comfortable." ;-) But, still, you are certainly right that having a good pack makes a huge difference when you carry very large loads - often the difference between misery, pain, and injury versus, well, OK.
