Climbing Backpacks

From The Approach To the Rock To Alpine Climbing Tours

A good climbing backpack is essential for conveniently transporting your gear.

A backpack must strike a balance between extreme durability and high comfort whilst also keeping weight to a minimum.

Climbing Backpacks that are designed specifically for climbing have a number of features which are intended to make them easier to use when climbing.

Climbing backpacks are typically made from a lightweight material with high abrasion resistance.

A good climbing backpack should have a wear-resistant base (due to the weight of carabiners and friends), one or two attachment straps for (half) ropes, a daisy chain for quickdraws and possibly loops for ice tools.
