Cal Seeley's review
This is a great rock climbing pack for those who are able to pack efficiently at the crag. I use this bag for afternoons sport climbing, and also for guided days when I'm wearing my helmet/harness/rack nearly the whole day, but need some space to hold additional gear than a smaller on-route bag. The included helmet holder is nice, although I think it is a little more streamlined to thread the top rope keeper strap through the holes in your helmet and secure it to the top of the bag.
