Good climbing pack

Got this pack primarily for ice climbing and it has worked well. Good, sturdy construction and the pickpockets for holding ice tools work great. The strap under the top flap does a good job of securely holding a rope in place. Wish it had a shovel pocket and a gear loop to hold an ice axe. Other than that, comfortable, well-fitted pack.
