Creek 50L Haul Bag

Creek 50 review

This pack was an incredible addition and really stood out during my most recent trip to Red Rocks, Joshua Tree and some of the limestone faces surrounding Vegas. As well as Texas granite climbing. It held all of my gear in an organized manner but my biggest compliment I can give it is how well the pack carried. It was impressively comfortable to carry 45-50 pounds of gear for some pretty gnarly approaches. It flies well too. Zippers stayed close through baggage check/handling. If I could have a single complaint it would be the plastic clasps to keep the rain tarp in place. I wrenched down on one and it broke. But due to all of the loops I was still able to tie off and keep my gear secure and dry. Plan to use this pack for years to come!!

Love the climbing bag

Perfect climbing bag to carry heavy load to the crag.

Well made

Very well thought out. Just the right amount of pockets for ease of use. Very durable construction.

Great bag for the desert climbing

This bag is perfect for shoving tons of gear into and has held up really well too. It’s not the most comfortable pack I’ve carried when loaded down but it’s not too bad.

Awesome. I was worried 50L

Awesome. I was worried 50L might be too big for what I will use it for, but am glad I went with 50L

I like big packs

This thing is a big boy. I got it to hold my climbing and bolting gear and it does it very well. I have a Mystery Ranch tower for my daily pack but it is too small for a full rack, rope, helmet and water without clipping stuff to the outside. This pack will hold all that gear and then room left over.

Best Trad Climbing Pack on the market

I had always used backpacking packs for my trad days at the Gunks. I thought all of the pockets for organization and comfort for "long" approaches made sense. I was wrong. This pack is super durable, has just the right amount of organizational pockets and is plenty comfortable for most approaches. It stands up straight on the ground and is cavernous - making it so easy to pack/unpack and find what you need. Full accepts my double trad rack, water, layers, etc. with the strap over the top to hold a rope. (side note: BD - please bring back your Super Slacker Rope Bag!). Highly recommend!

Best pack on market

Just what it says, best pack period. I have 2 50 L one 35L. I have gone thru and had other brands and one thing this has over all of them is it’s a BD bag. It’s tough, comfortable, and it just plain functions. If your in market for climbing bag this is where I’d stop looking. 35L for single pitch short days or sport climbing. 50L for multi pitch or trad climbing. Big fan

Five hearts for the five stars of how much I love this rope bag. When I went around and asked everyone that I climb with and work with movement they all said the same thing that this was the bag to buy and they were absolutely correct!

Best rope bag ever

Big enough for an Indian creek rack plus rope, food and water no problem. Maybe too Big for sport climbing? I personally love it.
