Comments about REI Pinnacle 35 Pack:

I used this pack a couple time going up to The Gunks after getting a little tired of lugging a couple bags up the climbs. This pack held everything I needed, but could be a tad larger. With the next size up being too large for my tastes. There are great loops inside the pack to attach stuff you are not using from you rack to. The more I use it the happier I am with it. It fits me perfectly. I am having a hard time finding something that makes this pack less than perfect for my use!

Comments about REI Pinnacle 35 Pack:

I was looking to replace my old REI Pinnacle 40 Pack as it was starting to get pretty tattered and low and behold the new model was released. I had the original model (I think) with the shovel slot on the back and it had worked great for hiking, cragging, short backpack trips and backcountry skiing. The only complaint I had with the old model was that the frame-sheet was too tall to wear while climbing as it obstructed your neck movement when trying to look up. (Yes, I could take it out but then it's just not comfortable) The new model has solved that problem with a shorter profile and several other great features. The rope straps are fantastic, and the zippered front pocket is much larger than it appears and holds a ton of gear. The smaller profile makes it a pleasure to wear climbing, as much as that's possible.
It appears to be very well built and durable, and after two overnight trips and several day outings I'm pretty stoked with it.

Comments about REI Pinnacle 35 Pack:

I think that this pack is a great design and if you get a chance to play with one, you'll notice it is very robust. I only have one caveat and it not a dealbreaker for everyone, but I feel like sharing... I loaded the pack down with about 20 kilos and just bounced around for a while. turns out the hipbelt is pretty skinny and diggs in on me quite a bit. this is something to be aware of if you have to have this guy on for a while with a climbing rack or other equivalently massive load along with the other necessities. If they do a new version of this pack, the added grams for a taller and more comfortable hipbelt would be worth it to me, but i'm not the whole market so I guess the company should do the best it can which it seems to do regularly.

Comments about REI Pinnacle 35 Pack:

I use this pack for single or multi day cragging in the Wichita Mts. (OK) and the Ozark Mts. (AR)I bought this pack because of the ability to tie a rope on top while still having access to the main pocket (through the side zipper). I love that side access! The internal gear loops of the pack are awesome as well, though I wish it had a couple against the frame of the pack at the top, rather than just on the two sides. I wish those gear loops had been coated (like the external loops), but that's a small thing. The compression straps on the side of the pack are great as well!The adjustable padded straps have been fine and I really like having the small gear loops on the outside of the pack. The roomy outer pocket with the vertical zipper is great for holding tape, lunch, water, and the guidebook.Initially, the top handle of the pack would always lay against my neck and that was annoying, but that has not been a problem lately now that the handle has relaxed.Bottom line: GET THIS PACK! I still haven't seen a better crag bag from anyone.Gear I can fit in this bag at once://Main Pocket//-Harness-2 pairs of shoes-Trad rack-12 quickdraws//Outer Pocket//-tape-1L bottle-guidebook-lunch-camera//Attached Externally//-60M rope-second 1L bottle

Comments about REI Pinnacle 35 Pack:

I picked out a technical climbing pack for use with riding primarily because I was looking for a bag that was able to hold a ton of stuff with low clearance (no restriction of movement when wearing a helmet).

It's a shame REI pigeonholed this bag as a 'technical climbing' pack, it works great for cycling as well; especially with the neat feature that allows me to roll up the straps and contain them so they don't flap all over the place (see picture).

Comments about REI Pinnacle 35 Pack:

This pack is great, I love the design and the versatility. The side open pocket is located perfectly and the crampon pocket is the perfect size. The only problem with this pack is that it is not made to fit tall guys. I'm 6'1" and my Large pack just couldn't hack it when it was fully packed. Might work out as a light daypack for a talelr person.

Best Uses

Comments about REI Pinnacle 35 Pack:

I am a rock climber and alpinist, so I was looking for a pack that could sustain me up to a weekend-long trip. This pack is great for carrying gear, with side access, a large secondary pouch, ample gear loops, a great rolldown top closure, and clips for securing a rope on the top of the pack. But I'm planning on returning it, because the zipper on the outer secondary pouch has a tendency to split and the teeth are already becoming damaged after only 2 weeks of use. I need to be able to pack my bag tight and compress with the zipper, but this one is unreliable for this purpose.

Comments about REI Pinnacle 35 Pack:

This piece is very ajustable. I'll limit my comments to things not in the description. I can put snow shoes in the ski loops and strap them down with the side comprssion straps. The pack is big enough for me to put all I need for a day in the mountains but it compresses enough to not swing around when lightly loaded. The pocket does not tighten up on your crampons when you pull on the compression straps - nice. The top expands a bit to hold more than 35L. Mine is made in Vietnam - I like to buy stuff not made in China. The only thing I would change is the ice axe atachement - it's a bit wierd, but works.

Comments about REI Pinnacle 35 Pack:

Excellent pack for climbing day trips. I use it mostly for Joshua Tree and Tahquitz. The rope carry system and roll top are fantastic. My only gripe is that if the inside of the pack is not completely loaded and you carry a rope on top, you can see the top corners of the frame sheet bend slightly. This may cause some premature wear. So far, no problems, carries my rack, 2L water, lunch, dinner, harness, shoes, helmet, and a 70m rope on top comfortably and neatly.
