Expert Review
My rock climbing and guiding harness. Very comfortable. Used to set routes at the local gym for a couple of hours hanging in this harness! Spacious gear loops make it a great traditional climbing harness. Can't recommend it for ice and alpine climbing, though. It lacks more robust ice clipper attachment loops.
