A worthy addition to any multi-pitch kit, the Rock Blitz 15 is designed to move with you pitch after pitch, carrying all the essentials to the summit. Featuring our signature Blitz-style main opening and a side zip pocket for quick on-route access to a phone, topo, or camera, this pack also has a stripped-down profile for moving fast on big lines. The top closure strap doubles as a rope carry once you summit, and external H2O hose routing gives you the option of staying hydrated on the send. The pack's EVA padded shoulder straps and back panel make for all-day comfort, while the sternum strap and waist belt are fully removable to save weight on fast and light pushes.

The Black Diamond Rock Blitz 15 is a good small climbing pack at a nice price. We like its simple design, and it has almost all of the features we want without any extra junk. This spartan layout allows for heavier materials in the construction without a weight penalty. In turn, these heavier materials add durability.
Two of the features we missed on this pack were a sternum strap buckle that doubles as an emergency whistle &#40;a feature found on some other BD packs&#41; and external attachment options &mdash; aside from the rope strap on top of the pack, there aren't any. We also wish that the top drawcord and cord lock weren't black, as they blend into the black fabric atop the pack. Nonetheless, we think this pack is an excellent value for rock climbers looking to get more than half a rope length off the ground and still have some bills in their pocket.

Best Climbing Backpack of 2022 - GearLab

- Internal pocket is really small. I just bought a new google pixel 6, and my phone doesn't even fit in the pocket. 

Great size, fits well. Not as durable as expected, missing a few features.

- make sternum strap attachment loops (located on shoulder straps) a tiny bit baggier to make it much easier to relocate sternum straps for my female climbing partner. 

durability issue, otherwise great pack.

I own a lot of packs in various sizes, but generally hate carrying them on-route. Since it becomes more and more of a stretch to avoid the pack on longer routes, I'm sometimes forced to carry one just to have enough water and other essentials I can't easily fit in pockets or hang off my harness. With the Rock Blitz 15, I've found an on-route pack that I'm actually happy to take up the climb. It's light, sleek, and the back length isn't stunted just to make it one-size-fits-all

 With the Rock Blitz 15, I've found an on-route pack that I'm actually happy to take up the climb. It's light, sleek, and the back length isn't stunted just to make it one-size-fits-all. The guidebook pocket is a perfect feature and the top "blitz" closure seems simple and functional. The construction is a good balance of abrasion resistance and weight without the full haul-proof super-high-denier nylon like some other designs

Initial Impressions

Sleek and narrow, big enough for shoes, water, jacket and a snack or a night on the town.

A step up from the Bullet

These Alpine start here - and I just want to show you the backpack - I've been climbing with most this summer, it's the Black Diamond rock blitz, 15 liter pack. It'S been really good for multi-pitch trad, climbing one feature I like little side. Zip here gives me quick access to my my first-aid kit, my camp, a first aid kit, a little strap on the top here. I have use this to hold a rope on top of the pack, but there's no compression straps plenty of room for 15 years

r/backpacks

r/onebag

I currently have decided I prefer having a front opening backpack, between 40-48L (45L is ideal), under $200, not too bulky, and a bag with great quality that I can use for multiple backpacking trips. Obviously the Osprey 40L has been a great option meeting most criteria but the Patagonia 45L Cragsmith has the extra liters that would be perfect for me and is more visually aesthetic in my opinion.

 Quick to load and unload, comfortable to carry, our sturdy Cragsmith 45 liter will outperform your climbing partner.

 Highly breathable airflow mesh on the shoulder straps and back panel help keep you cool and comfortable on long approaches. Load lifters and a sternum strap tune in the fit and the waist belt is padded for carrying comfort. The two compression straps stabilize the load and reinforce haul handles make it easy to carry. The Cragsmith comes in two sizes, small, medium and large, extra large

Patagonia Cragsmith Pack 45L

 The Cragsmith 45L is a tough and roomy crag pack providing plenty of carrying capacity

 and its top and back panel access make loading and unloading this beast simple.

 Built to withstand the hard knocks of climbing, we make it with a burly 630 veneer nylon plane

 weave that's coated with polyurethane and treated with a durable water repellent finish

 This hard-wearing fabric has 50% recycled content to reduce environmental impact and

 is both abrasion and puncture resistant.

 With 45L of carrying capacity, the Cragsmith holds an entire collection of climbing gear

 including your rope, rack, shoes and extra clothes with room to spare.

 Ample foam padding throughout protects the contents from all angles, provides structure

 and maintains the pack's shape to make packing and unpacking even easier.

 Stand it upright to reach your gear through the U-shaped lid or lay it down at the base

 of a route and open the back panel for easy access without exposing your gear or the pack's

 Inside there's a hydration sleeve and a port.

 It has a lid compartment with an internal stash pocket for valuables and exterior stretch

 pockets to hold your water bottle and guidebook.

 The back panel zipper is a massive #10 YKK: this zipper now bears the full weight of the pack, both when carrying it and when lifting it by the shoulder straps. I had reservations about this design but despite filling the pack with about 20kg (45lbs) of climbing and camera gear, neither the zipper nor any of the other seams gave out so much as a squeak. The dual-compartment top lid.The zippers are extremely burly

 I often find the original 35L a bit small for longer crag days when packing more water, clothes, gear and, in my case, a camera, or sometimes two, so I’m really glad the new one comes in a larger 45L capacity. The most common way I use the Cragsmith: clothing duffel. Along with the increase in size, the Cragsmith also gets a few tweaks to the design. The most obvious one is the addition of more substantial padding throughout the pack: the pack now holds its shape, making in much easier to pack and also to find stuff in

 It’s comfortable even heavily loaded, has enough compartments to keep my OCD organized and it works great both at the crag and as a travel bag. It’s heavier than similarly sized packs, but then again it’s not an alpine pack: 1480 grams hardly registers on my back when loaded down with gear. At a retail price of $239 CAD / $199 USD, the Cragsmith 45L is one of the most useful backpacks I have and is very highly recommended.

 Along with the increase in size, the Cragsmith also gets a few tweaks to the design. The most obvious one is the addition of more substantial padding throughout the pack: the pack now holds its shape, making in much easier to pack and also to find stuff in. The semi-rigid sides stay open when the back panel is unzipped, and the pack easily stands up on its own (though as the bottom is not completely flat, it’s easier to balance upright on uneven rocky ground than it is on a flat floor). The new Cragsmith’s side-panels stand up for easy locating of gear
