I have been using this pack for rock and ice climbing trips and i really like it. The ice ax system is very simple and works well to cover up the picks. There are a lot of straps for carrying a rope and it has a good amount of room for all your gear. It is a little sparse on features: no helmet carrier, crampon pouch, etc. but for a simple pack it has it where it counts. This pack is very comfy, ventilates well, and is very adjustable. It is a joy to have on my back.

I have had this pack A little over a year now and have put it through some pretty serious abuse. The bottom is tearing out of it, one of the straps that tightens the shoulders is ripping out. I find that this pack doesn't carry my snowshoes very well. This pack is the most comfortable I have ever used however. I have really abused this thing too; sliding down rock faces, stuffing it to the max with heavy gear, and generally not being nice to it. With that said, I'm going to get another one...
