I have been using this pack for over two years now and I am quite pleased with it. It is big enough for weekend winter trips but not too big for day tours on glaciers or for ice climbing. The suspension system is very comfortable.

I like it's features though I don't think I have ever used the separate compartment option. It would also be nice to have a detachable lid. Besides these minor things I really like this pack, incredibly durable and comfortable.

If you are short you might want to consider a smaller pack, at least for climbing, I'm 185cm / 6'1'' and it fits me well, but I could see the top getting in the way of your helmet if you are a smaller climber.
