Default Camera rucksac advice

I have recently changed from a Canon 1V to a 1DsII - a fantastic camera, but it has caused me a problem. On mountaineering/climbing trips I used to carry the 1V with lens attatched (usually something like a 28-200 to give me a lot of flexibility whilst unable to change my position a great deal!) in a long-nosed slr beltpack. Any other accessories would be inside my climbing rucksac along with the necessary climbing gear, food etc for the day.
With the new body, I cant find a bag to fit, so I think I may need a different approach. Does anyone know of a good rucksac that has a camera compartment - to fit the 1DsII with say a 70-200 f2.8 and a 28-70 f2.8 - that also has a good harness, and external fixing loops for 2 ice axes and crampons. Internal gear space - probably 30-45l plus the camera compartment.
I have seen plenty of excellent camera rucksacs, but none that would do as a climbing daysac with camera protection. thanks for any advice.
