Good bag for climbing cliffs and rocks

Climbging on the cliffs and mountains near the dead-sea
After a long night it was still comfort on the back!
Perfect weekend/climbing/travel pack

This pack does it all..it's my go-to pack for both summer and winter climbing trips and 4-season day hiking adventures, though slightly small for winter multiday trips. It can certainly hold a full rack, rope and accessories if you have a longer approach. It also has the ability to carry skis A-frame style. The tool holsters and crampon patch are almost perfectly designed -- I did break the tri-lock compression pieces on the crampon patch and put in Fastex buckles (also on bottom strap) for easier use with gloves. Just as comfortable on the plane with the removable hip belt. The included bivvy pad is minimalist, but great for grabbing a seat for lunch.
I've seen this baby loaded down with full mixed rack, ropes, tools, fruitboots, and drill (easy 65 lbs) and it didn't bend.
Make no mistake, as with any Gregory pack, it's not the lightest option, but it's rugged as they come and it rides like a Cadillac. Tremendous alpine pack.

Can the straps on the back hold a snowboard vertically or are
Can the straps on the back hold a snowboard vertically or are they too small or narrow?

They sure can. However, not the compression straps on the front crampon patch, those will only hold crampons or smaller.
The key is to use the SIDE compression straps from both sides and wrap them around the outside - Gregory designed them so that one side has male clips and one has female, that way they clip to each other on top of the crampon patch on the back of the pack.
Kind of awkward to explain, but just lay the pack on the ground, shoulder straps down, unclip the side compression straps, lengthen the webbing, and then clip them together on the top of the pack.

I ordered this backpack because I'm a sport/alpine climber. I was looking for the PERFECT pack that could carry my rope, harness, shoes, chalk bag, food, water and gear and had durability. This bag fits it all and was true to size. The only downfall is that the pack doesn't fit as tight to my body as other packs do. Meaning it flopped around a bit. All in all though, I would highly recommend this pack - especially for women as I was looking at women's specific packs
