Black Diamond Demon Backpack - 1953-2197cu in
Another Killer BD Pack

Very basic, minimalist pack. It doesn't offer a lot of organization, and only one pocket as the brain makes storing smaller items a little tricky. But other than that, this pack is awesome. The suspensions is dialed and comfy. The design allows weight transfer to the hips, and the waist belt holds it all. This pack is great for daytrip summits, or really lightweight overnighters. Stuffing a rope in this isn't hard, but because of the zippered top loading design, you have to dig out almost all your gear to pull it out when you hit the crag. The stiffness of the packs material is a positive and a negative really. Positive because it is literally bombproof. Negative because it has no stretch or give to get that one odd piece of gear down deeper into the pack.
