The Splitter Backpack by Mountain Hardwear is being hailed from some of the top climbers in the country, as one of the best climbing packs on the market, and Pat Goodman is one of them.  If someone knows what is necessary in pack features its Pat (see his comments below).

The Splitter has great suspension ideas to help carry all the heavy weight you carry when climbing: a rope, traditional gear, shoes, water, food, draws etc. Dual density shoulder straps and a single density hipbelt distributes the load evenly for max comfort.  Internal compression panel holds the heavy ropes and rack securely against the backpanel for better carrying ability and less fatigue.  

An added tarp, organizing areas for shoes, tape, etc, and a unique panel zip design lets the pack split open to lie flat so you can put your rack together on a clean surface as opposed to the alternative, dirt.  Tons more features are listed below to make the Splitter a necessity for anyone who climbs.

"Rack, rope, harness, shoes, chalk bag, headlamp, food, extra clothes, water bladder and a flask filled with some of the best single malt available-- $2920.00. A super tough, fast packing, well balanced, comfortable load-humping masterpiece --Priceless! The Splitter backpack makes a day at the crag much more convenient, almost like cheating." – Pat Goodman, Rock Climber
