Black Diamond Mission 75 Pack

[coach]

I was just looking at this pack in REI. http://www.rei.com/product/813388

 

Has anyone bought this pack? (I believe it is relatively new) Or have any thoughts on it?

I had not previously seen this pack but did check out the link you included in your post. If you are looking for a large capacity pack for short duration climbing trips this looks to be ideally suited. If you need a pack for expedition style climbing where you are carrying a lot of gear I would recommend a more robust pack with wand pockets; exterior crampon attachments, and more padding on the strap and waist belt. Take a look at the MH South Col that is relatively light yet has lots of features.
