I finally used the bag in an actual climb for tranporting the climbing gear to my favorite tree and I like the capacity of the bag that fit all the gear minus the saddle. Durability appears to be solid well designed and custom made. Easy to use because it actually stands up by itself while loading the rope.

I am a purely rec climber, and always hike somewhere to climb, often many miles. Therefore I wanted a rope bag to fit the bill, and bought this. After a couple dozen climbs with it since spring, it still looks new (except for all the patches I've sewn into it..), and shows no sign of excessive wear. It's not the most comfortable pack I've ever worn, but it's also not the worst. The straps could be padded a little more, and it's comfort truly depends on how well one packs the contents in terms of what is rubbing up against your back as you walk. I can actually stuff my 150' rope, tengu saddle, two saddle bags with gear, helmet, and folding cube into this pack and head into the woods. (It took a couple of tries at first to get it all to fit well, but now I've got it down). A trick I also use is to wear a hip pack that holds my water bottles, lunch, and field glasses. The rope pack then rests on the hip pack and acts like you are wearing a pack with a waist belt built in. It works quite well! It's not really the most practical pack (I use a regular frame backpack when overnighting), but it's still pretty cool and a great way to get into the backcountry to climb.
