"Bought this bag recently and used it 4 straight days sport climbing. It's got more than enough room for ropes, draws, shoes, snacks and guidebook with some room to spare. The best part was packing up to move crags. Just had to throw everything in the bag "roll" it up and go. No more time spent trying to shove everything in a bag for picking up to move. Highly recommend!!"
"Amazing pack with plenty of room. Love the double functionality"
"This is the dreamiest backpack for climbing. I love that it unfolds into a sitting pad. It is great for the desert ground. One of my favorite gear purchases of all time. It is organized and highly functional."
"Nice alternative to the organic spot pad, but the closure system is definitely not as well thought-out. I get that the lower flap can wrap around the base to prevent items from falling out, but you actually can't close the bag without "wrapping" the bottom of the bag. If you have a bulky item in the bottom (like a rope), this means you can't close the bag, even though the rope would block anything else from falling out. I ended up having to extend the bottom strap to get around this "feature. " Also, the velcro closure around the middle would definitely be better as a g-hook."
"Fits my collapsable stick-clip fully. I can fit my shoes, harness, quick draws, rope, water, and food fully inside as well. I like that it opens up into a mini-pad since it's great for me or my dogs to sit on. I love the simplistic design."
"Imagine this: You’re at a beautiful crag, halfway through projecting your nemesis route. You know the send is coming on the next burn—but first, you need a moment to de-pump and rethink your life choices. This pack has your back—literally. Lay it out and boom: instantly turn jagged rocks and gritty dirt into a luxury crash-pad-style lounge. It’s basically a portable couch for you and your dog."
"This pack is literally a dream. We use it for bouldering excursions and it comfortably fits shoes, chalk, snacks and water for a family of six. The pack creates a great lounge spot for those waiting their turn on the rock and also works as a seam cover between other boulders pads. Only downside is the shoulder straps don’t fit a shorter torso."
"I thought it would be awkward on my frame since I'm only 5'2 but it actually carries weight pretty well! I just got some mesh bags to keep my gear contained while I'm at the crag. Only problem is my crag dog hogs it all to himself! 😂"
"Best crag pack around. Honestly I live this pack for sport cragging days. It fits all my gear and makes for a great landing pad for all my gear at the base of the climb. My only complaint is I wish they made it in two sizes- I have a short torso and it's a bit long for me."
