I bought this as a day pack to use for technical climbing as well, and it is great. I use it to carry everything. I have even become a minimalist backpacker, and have used it on multi-day trips. It is a great pack, although the front pockets are a little too small to be useful for anything more than sunglasses and a clif bar. I would highly recommend this pack as an extended day pack. Also think about taking the stays out and custom bending them to your own back. There are instructions on how to do this in the Osprey catalog.

One more thing, there are two features which I hope to see every pack company take. 1. The sternum strap is elasticized so that you can tighten it and still breathe (this is great) 2. The hip belt adjustment straps are threaded in such a way that when you pull they tighten, you don't need to pull the buckle in the other direction. You have to try this to appreciate it.
