Side zipper accesses main interior
Heavy-duty side ski loops hold your planks while you hike
Michael. This pack is very different than the original Scrambler. For one, it is larger and two, we use a heavier fabric. Both great packs but used for different things. Here is a link to the current Scrambler from the Mountain Hardwear site for reference:
I keep finding extra features on this bag. It is a compartment fiend's best friend. Great construction, looks amazing, met and exceeded my requirements. Pricey though, I imagine you could find an ALPs or Kelty with similar performance for a lower price.

I bought this backpack for a trip that I took to Nicaragua. Our group traveled cross country on very small airplanes, so the size of this backpack was amazing. It held everything I needed for hiking to back country villages and doing medical work. If it got destroyed today, I'd replace it with the exact same thing!!
Chase, as JC said there is nothing like all of your trad gear. That being said I can not fit my standard trad rack, rope, and days supplies in this pack. For what you want to do, size up to a 40 liter pack. Acteryx is pricy, but their sizing is great. You should be able to find a pack that will carry well, and fits a smaller sized torso. If you are still interested in this pack, hand the rope to your partner and then youll be good. Good climbing.
Bought the Trad in September 09, Used it on 8, 4000 footers in NH very comfortable. One problem after a couple of hikes the stitching on the seams started to let go. and after the second time carrying skis it rubbed a hole in the upper part of the pack. As far as durabilty goes i was disappointed with that particular pack, but have bought another and am willing to give it another shot.
This is a great pack!! Super comfy and has good hard wearing 630d front, bottom and side panels.The side zip is nice for getting to gear without having to unpack. But if you want it just for alpine climbing you might want to get somthin a tad lighter..like the Supersrambler.
