The 35-liter capacity is well-suited for sport climbing gear, including quickdraws, harness, shoes, and a rope. If you are carrying a full rack of trad gear, it will be a tight fit, but you can utilize the exterior webbing and fifi hook to carry your rope on the outside to free up internal space.

The full-length front zipper is a game-changer for organization. While top-loading is great for stuffing items in, the front zipper allows you to lay the pack flat and see exactly where your gear is, preventing the 'bottomless pit' effect common in standard haul bags.
