Wadi 22

I bought this bag after I was so impressed with the larger Moonlight 35. I was wanting something for day sport trips, and I wasn't disappointed. It's the perfect day cragging pack. Size is perfect for an entire day out (one bag per person). Side pocket is generously sized and convenient. Helmet holder is amazing and saves interior space without having my helmet flying all over. I'm also able to use the ice-axe straps for my stick-clip.

On the approach/descent - the 22L fits a double rack, a dozen alpines, 2 liters, snacks, layers, etc. Rope/helmet on the outside.

On route - this pack climbs so well! Moving your head back w/ helmet doesn't hinder climbing. Getting stuff from the pack on a hanging belay is easy. The material is much more durable than previous route packs and has been up 1000's of vertical feet. Free climbing and ascending a rope all feel great wearing this pack.

I haven’t gotten to really use it yet, so this could all change. But so far it checks the boxes I wanted: it’s light and fits enough stuff for multipitch routes, and I can shove my laptop in there and also use it as a personal item on a plane. I’m one of those “clip junk to the outside” people, so I like having attachment points. Looks nice too.

This pack is near-perfect for multi-pitch rock climbing. I have used it for about two years in Red Rocks (US), Cascades (US), Squamish (CA), Verdon(FR) Chamonix (FR), Furka Pass (CH), and other places and it is holding up great. The simple design and durable fabric are its greatest features, but other packs also have that. What sets this apart is its shape (slightly wedge shaped, larger at top which facilitates loading and unloading) and all-around elegance. BRAVO to Constance Allimant and her colleagues at Blue Ice!

I bought this pack for hauling on harder multipitch routes, but have started using it as my standard pack for long routes and carryovers. It’s surprisingly big for a 22L but feels super light to climb with. If packed well it can fit everything for the day including the rack, and with rope strapped on the outside. I’ve even found that I can fit a 60m 9.4 rope inside the pack along with my shoes, harness, personal kit, food, water and FAK kit (on days when my partner is carrying the rack). Love the helmet carry on the outside. Haven’t used the ice axe clips yet, but I’m sure I will next summer alpine season. All in all this is an incredibly versatile, durable pack.
