DJ2 member Registered: 01/06/02 Posts: 1348 Loc: Seattle, WA	Good question. The cross piece is at the top. Think inverted "U" when you look at the pack on a person's back in a standing position. The top cross piece serves a couple of purposes. It keeps the vertical spars from coming together from the force of the pack hanging from them. It also gives you something to tie straps, tents, sleeping pads to.
