After several years of carrying my Arc'Teryx RT25 I grew weary of pulling everything out to get to the bottom of my bag, shouldering or strapping the rope to it, and generally just not having much space.
The Miura 50 solved that. My rope fits well in its Metolius rope bag at the bottom of the pack. After that i rack my draws and gear on the internal gear loops. As others have said it would be nice if these ran horizontally instead of vertical... or had both. The pocket on top is great for your keys, wallet, guidebook, and a few power bars. I put my hammock and rain jacket in the front pouch. After all that I can still stick a full gallon jug of water in the top.
I don't really think much about weight - most of my approaches are pretty short at Red River Gorge and even carrying a rope and draws and all the water summer requires doesn't really kill me.
It does work well as an impromptu chair!
It rides very well when loaded up heavy.
