great pack worth buying
this is coming from a long time strict Osprey user. Having the perfect pack for each occasion matters to me and this one shocked me at how comfortable it carried at maxed out weight on a technical climb. I was able to carry 2 axes, crampons , boots in pack while climbing , extra jackets , gloves , food, water + . I have 8 different packs and none are five stars for me but they all have their place . I liked this pack so much I just purchased a Scrambler 25.

good all around bag
I am honestly loving this pack. The day it came in I got groceries and all my work stuff. I found it light, super spacious, and coming back pretty comfortable with all the weight. The stitching is super strong and the exterior fabric is really solid. I took it up 9 pretty slabby pitches the next day and on the overhung stuff there were a good amount of ledges. Besides the dirt everything still looks very good!

Very functional for small size
Carries really well, even when loaded with 30#. Can jury rig ski carry. Used for light winter backpacking, skiing, climbing. Waterproof (if top is covered), great crampon/accessory carry. Seems very durable so far with no fabric issues besides dirt. The over the top strap is so easy to move, use, and tighten, especially with gloves. This bag eliminates hard to use straps and buckles which are always a pain in winter gloves. Things that are missing would be girth hitched accessory straps for the included daisy chains for side attachment. These can be bought aftermarket. Sometimes the top tool holders loosen easily. I would also prefer an expandable/bivy sleeve for approaches with extra gear.
