Best trad crag pack

Hi Everyone, |
|
The Arc'teryx Miura 50 pack (previous design) of course. We've already started a whole discussion on how to find one, just for you. |

If you're interested, I'm looking to sell my Fjallraven Abisko. It's 75L, so it can fit a double rack up to #6 and 2 ropes without having to tie anything on the outside. It's a beast of a front loader. |

I second the Muira. |

I've been using the Trango Crag Pack for a couple of months now and I love it. It's sort of the perfect cragging pack. The top pocket is huge, I put everything but water in there as far as personal stuff, and it fits the entire trad rack. The rope haul straps work well too, meaning you can haul rack with helmet inside and still carry a full size coiled rope. I love the mesh pockets for shoes, my shoes are actually not nearly as funky now. I use the snap in tarp all the time, and the guidebook pocket is pretty cool too, as long as you don't forget about it on a tyrol. |

I have a mountain hardwear hueco 35 that I recently bought and I love it. Though it is top loader and might not work for you in that aspect, but check it out in person if you can. Most comfortable pack I own. My other favorite which might work for you is the Dueter guide 45l. It is a top load but has a side zipper access as well as the bottom zipper. Both these packs are rugged as hell. |

There's so much love for Misty Mountain harnesses...I can also attest to their amazing pack design and construction. I recently ordered their Gorge Pack and in my opinion it's probably the best trad crag pack out there. |

I recently ordered their Gorge Pack and in my opinion it's probably the best trad crag pack out there. Gorge Pack by Misty Mountain I've used it three days out now. The first thing you notice is the material used. It feels like it will last a lifetime of climbing. The pack has a haul bag style opening but also features a full length front zipper to access everything in the pack. You could probably use it as your rope tarp when fully unzipped. It also features a basic front pouch to hold your smaller items, food, etc. The comfort and fit is perfect for me. Size wise I have been able to hold a full trad rack, draws, rope, water, food, and extra clothing with no issues. On top of all this you can custom order it with the colors you want. I kept it simple with black and grey. Given that these are made to order (in the U.S.A.) it takes awhile to get it but oh so worth the wait. It's a bit pricey at $230 but about once a year they send out 20% coupons. I was able to use that on my purchase. I also got free shipping and no sales tax. Hope this helps.This for sure. I can't say enough good things about these guys or their products. Their customer service is top notch and their stuff is high quality. That and it's made right here in the US, right in the High Country of North Carolina. |

RE: Trango Crag pack - The side zip is about 2/3 the length of the pack,favoring the top portion. The suspension is neither plush nor minimal. It's an in-between design. The pack has internal stays with padding between the stays and your back. The design holds the main compartment away from your back, so it's pretty comfortable. |

They are also frequently on Ebay. I just got mine, took around a year of on-and-off looking, but I wanted a size Tall which is hard to find. Ultimately found it on CL across the country by a google search. Excellent pack. |

I've heard about the miura how do you tell between the old design and new one. Can someone attach a photo? I just bought a BD axis 33 and it fits a ton of trad gear with helmet pouch and rope strap. The problem is the pack isn't designed by backpack company so it doesn't fit that well. So I'm interested in the Miura. Thanks in advance. |
