just got it w/new rope for birthday. works well for bouncing round a crag, the baggie on is nice for small stuff. much better for leading than toproping b/c the bucket feeds out rope nicely, but puting it in while belaying takes practice. has a daisy chain on the inside, but one on the outside would be nice as well, as well as an exterior pocket, but i can put every thing for a day of sport climbing in it nicely. Also, used it for two days at rocktown to haul all the extra crap i take bouldering and it worked better than a pack, and far easier than cramming stuff in the pad. All in all cheaper than most rope bags, and far more versitile IMO
