Multi-Pitch 16 $120

There aren’t many made-for-multipitch packs that have this many climbing-specific details in only 16 litres. It delivers a lot in such a small package. There’s a minimal but tough backing that keeps contents from poking you in the back. It has a low profile and is very light, which is optimal for long climbs. It sits high on the torso and tight to your back, which helps with balance and maneuverability. The shoulder straps are supple and comfy. One of the best packs you trad climbers will own.
