"This pack rocks. It is great for climbing, but I have used it for backpacking a little too. This pack has one nice big compartment that fits everything in it, plus the top pocket. The compression system is perfect when you are not using the full capacity of the pack."

"I must admit that I'm on a life-time search for the Holy Grail of Packs. The perfect pack weighs less than air, carries a month's worth of gear and hefts like an empty stuffsack. The Osprey Exposure 66 isn't that pack. That said, it IS a comfortable, light-weight no-nonsense piece of gear."

"If you are looking for a straightforward climbing pack without all of the gadgetry, then this is your pack. It's great for all day climbing in Indian Creek, but also versatile for backpacking in backcountry Utah. Good capacity, double draw cords are great for compression, that shovel wings have countless uses(I keep my Frisbee in that feature)."
