Best Mixed Use Pack? Cragging, Multi-Pitch, and some Alpine

Chris Owen wrote:I have a Cold Cold World Valdez, had it forever and it has everything I need for an all-rounder; holds 2 axes, a pair of crampons, has an extendable sleeve for unplanned bivis, has side straps fro skis or poles, two top zipper compartments, one inside one on top, removable closed cell foam pad for sitting on at camp or the unplanned bivi (no I'm not obsessed). Nothing fancy though just authentically apt.

I've got the Gregory Torre 33.. Can carry 70m rope, trad rack, shoes, chalk, water no problem. Use it for everything from trad, sport to backpacking trips to just lugging stuff to the gym. Carries like a dream, has a full length zipper down the right side and it's a purdy pack. Also... its $84 bucks.
