I have been using the Creek 50 for years! It is the perfect pack when you need to haul the big load. I decided to get a 35 to complement the 50 for when I am sport climbing and don't need as much gear. Just like the 50 I love the 35!

This is a well built bag and I think it will do exactly what I need it to do. This bag holds all the gear I need plus all the rope I need and it ride comfortably on my back to the approach of what ever I am doing.

This backpack is built like a tank - durable, waterproof, and rugged. While it's heavier than modern alternatives, its robust construction makes it ideal for canyoneering and climbing adventures where durability is crucial.

Durable and is just the right size for an easy day trip. Internal pockets made to keep things dry. Would consider a larger pack for a longer haul or longer day where you might pack more extras, but this is perfect for carrying your gear to a quick climb location.

I originally got the 35L because the 50l was out of stock for the m/l waist bands. It went on two different airlines as a carry on, rain day and kept everything dry, and originally fit two people’s equipment for a day climb single pitches. There is plenty of room and organized easily. I’d recommend if your climbing single or few days single rack single pitches. I did recently purchase the 50L after seeing and climbing with a fella who owned it. He did make comment if he didn’t guide he would have the 35l as his first choice. I recently bought a second full rack z4,c4, stoppers, offsets, hex. I believe the smart choice at that point was upgrading to 50l but I also have the 35l to slim down on those days and approaches that require it. BD crag bags are my favorite and have not let me down yet. I have some other brands and I would 100% grab the BDs first. I would only say I would like to see the new nickle options available more.

A s a climber for 25 years... this is the most well thought out pack for a climber that i have ever seen. very functional, but also supper sturdy and comfortable to wear.

This pack carries very well due to the wide hip belt. Fits a ton of gear and is very well made. No complaints here, this is one of my favorite packs!

Perfect size crag pack. Durable enough but wouldn’t haul it.

This excellent pack goes everywhere with me. I load climbing gear of course for the crag, surf gear for the waves, and diving gear for boating. It’s great!

Perfect size for me - I can pack in a double rack and all the fixins but still a comfortable size to carry up a multipitch, as in I can look up the wall without constantly hitting my helmet on the top of the pack AND there’s clearance on the bottom for my gear. Straps are nice, love the waterproofing, just wish there were a couple of gear loops on the outside. Basically 5 stars, just looking for ways to bring it back down to reality.

Material feels solid, feel good to wear, fits a lot, has a lot of useful compartments. The only drawback I have found so far is that if you wear it in the front (i.e. you double stacked pads in the back), it's too tall and your thighs will hit it for high steps.

This bag is made of stronger material than I thought it would be. Build quality looks good. Looking forward to field testing. Plenty of room for my gear

Great for sport & trad; holds everything just fine--trad gear, draws, harness, shoes, water, snacks--with rope on outside. Only thing I'd like to see added to pack is lash tabs on the pack's sides to secure the rope--keep it from snagging.
David J.
Comfortable, good size for carrying gear for sport or trad climbing, and perfect number of pockets. Very happy!

Everything you need. Nothing you don't. Simple design, super durable, and just enough features. Will fit everything you need for trad/sport/tr cragging, carry on for a flight, and commuting. Weather resistant, and burly materials. Only wish the waist strap was removable, but not a big deal. Ditched other climbing packs with too many features for my liking. This one is heavier, but for what I use it for I like the added durability and weather protection. And now in grey! Highly recommend!
