    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.

    This product is for…

    Trad and multipitch climbers who prioritize gear-carrying capacity and comfort without sacrificing too much weight. Route setters and guides have also used it successfully for extended hang time.

    Worth noting…

    No ice clipper attachment loops — multiple hosts flag this as a hard limitation for ice and alpine climbing. One host explicitly calls it too heavy for mountaineering or ski mountaineering.
