The Black Diamond Demon Backpack's 1953cu inch volume holds just enough gear to get you through an alpine jaunt, and the beefy 1260D nylon shell withstands years of peaks. This simplistic Black Diamond pack includes only a single ice axe loop and shoulder straps—everything you need for a day of spring mountaineering and nothing more.
Bottom Line: Take a stroll in the mountains and over a glacier with the simple, functional, and durable Black Diamond Demon Backpack.
This pack is great for quick hikes when you don't need tons and it's pretty light too! This pack has a one-up on the RPM because it has classic compression straps that are really great when you're not carrying a full load, HOWEVER the RPM is HALF the weight but only 6L less in capacity and the RPM has 2 ice axe loops for those for are into the ice-climbing. BUT the demon has a much better waist-belt. BOTTOM LINE.. Demon is great if you can afford the weight and need extra capacity BUT if you're an ultra-lighter... go with the RPM... it's the minimalists' dream.
Epic MS Paint! Haha. The technical manual for the pack lists those simply as "Four accessory tie-in points." So, like Geoffery said, get come shock-cord or just some static cord if you are so inclined, and tie some stuff to your pack :D
There is the link to the manual. Check Page three, balloon 7. http://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/uploads/black-diamond/files/MM6098_A%20Launch_packsWEB.pdf
I've come to the conclusion that there is no pack that does it all and my backpack collection is starting to resemble my wife's purse collection. With most of my packs designed for fast/light pursuits, I needed a rockclimbing bag that could hold up to the extra weight and abuse. This is a bomber bag with the perfect amount of space for a day at the crag. It fits everything I need INSIDE (60m rope, 50m webbing, harness, helmet, shoes, quickdraws, chalkbag, lunch, first aid kit, etc). If I run some cord through the loops on the lid and strap my rope to the outside, it opens up some space for my lightweight sleeping bag and bivy. I'm very confident that the material and build will hold up for a long time.
This pack has plenty of room for a day's worth of climbing gear and other necessities. I have a 3 liter camelbak and it fits fine, however, it is a little tall for the attachment loop. The zipper is good and sturdy and the nylon seems pretty tough.
This is a great pack for many reasons. I bought it because it is very light yet also has a stiff back to keep structure to you and the bag. Also it has a nice opening where you can swing it around and open it away from you instead of towards you. It is very minimalist as it has 3 small pockets, the main compartment, camelbak pocket and 2 compressor chords on each side.
