Creek 35L Backpack

Classic Backpack

This backpack is built like a tank - durable, waterproof, and rugged. While it's heavier than modern alternatives, its robust construction makes it ideal for canyoneering and climbing adventures where durability is crucial.

Great Pack

Durable and is just the right size for an easy day trip. Internal pockets made to keep things dry. Would consider a larger pack for a longer haul or longer day where you might pack more extras, but this is perfect for carrying your gear to a quick climb location.

Great crag bag

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Size Bought:

35L

Bought this this year. Great size for all the gear, snacks and misc.

What a bag.

I originally got the 35L because the 50l was out of stock for the m/l waist bands. It went on two different airlines as a carry on, rain day and kept everything dry, and originally fit two people’s equipment for a day climb single pitches. There is plenty of room and organized easily. I’d recommend if your climbing single or few days single rack single pitches. I did recently purchase the 50L after seeing and climbing with a fella who owned it. He did make comment if he didn’t guide he would have the 35l as his first choice. I recently bought a second full rack z4,c4, stoppers, offsets, hex. I believe the smart choice at that point was upgrading to 50l but I also have the 35l to slim down on those days and approaches that require it. BD crag bags are my favorite and have not let me down yet. I have some other brands and I would 100% grab the BDs first. I would only say I would like to see the new nickle options available more.

the GOAT of climbing packs

A s a climber for 25 years... this is the most well thought out pack for a climber that i have ever seen. very functional, but also supper sturdy and comfortable to wear.

Well made and comfortable pack

This pack carries very well due to the wide hip belt. Fits a ton of gear and is very well made. No complaints here, this is one of my favorite packs!

Perfect size crag pack. Durable

Perfect size crag pack. Durable enough but wouldn’t haul it.

Excellent

This excellent pack goes everywhere with me. I load climbing gear of course for the crag, surf gear for the waves, and diving gear for boating. It’s great!

Sick 🤙🏻

Perfect size for me - I can pack in a double rack and all the fixins but still a comfortable size to carry up a multipitch, as in I can look up the wall without constantly hitting my helmet on the top of the pack AND there’s clearance on the bottom for my gear. Straps are nice, love the waterproofing, just wish there were a couple of gear loops on the outside. Basically 5 stars, just looking for ways to bring it back down to reality.

Overall great backpack

Material feels solid, feel good to wear, fits a lot, has a lot of useful compartments. The only drawback I have found so far is that if you wear it in the front (i.e. you double stacked pads in the back), it's too tall and your thighs will hit it for high steps.
