Does this bag have haul loops like the 35 L version, and how does the vertical rope system work?

This is essentially the 35L bag except with a slick access pocket that is separated from the inner compartment on the back, and a 6-8L lid on top. Outstanding bag, worth the extra ounces over the 35L for sure.
The vertical (or horizontal) rope system sits beneath the lid. There's an additional strap with quick release buckle that will secure the rope to the top of the bag. You can either hang it vertically off the back (I use some shock cord and a crimp clip to keep the rope tight to the bag), or you can lash it horizontally and use Vole straps or webbing to cinch it down against the compression system.

I bought this pack to use mostly for sport climbing. It has plenty of room to carry all of my gear including a 70m rope. I just picked this up recently, so I can't comment on the durability, but it is a very comfortable and versatile pack.

I took a slight risk with this pack. No one had reviewed it, and all I had to work with was the general appearance, as well as the stock description. To be honest, the primary reason that I chose this pack was due to one feature: the duffel access. Well, to cut to the chase, the risk paid off. This pack is great.

So far, I've only used it to travel from NC to Houston and back (I was too excited not to use it) by plane, but I can't wait to take it to the crag. You'll be pleased with the suspension, and particularly with the storage options. That smaller, zippered pocket on front is great for small, flatter items. Freedom of movement is definitely there. You'll be loaded mostly on the hips, and your arms can do what they like, especially because of the pack's narrow construction (I'd expected much wider). Note that the space increases with the extendable drawstring closure. The top can be raised to cover a taller load.Vertical expansion. That's what I like for a climbing pack. Tight and tidy.
