Climbing Harnesses

Climbing harnesses are a critical piece of climbing gear. You don’t want a poorly fitting, shabby climbing harness to fail when you take that next whipper. All climbing harnesses are tested to meet strict safety standards set by mountaineering and climbing associations. Such standards promote better quality climbing harnesses that are much safer to use and avoid accidents and injuries. Although, some manufacturers like Petzl and Black Diamond often go the extra mile and ensure their climbing harnesses surpass the standards so you can feel safe and comfortable in a Black Diamond harness.

Climbing harnesses should be chosen with the type of climbing in mind. Gym climbing harnesses have less equipment rings on them so you can be faster and lighter and concentrate on your workout. Trad and sport climbing harnesses should have more padding for your lower back to keep you comfortable after hours of wearing it, and while sitting in hanging belays. They should also have more gear loops to hold your protection, quickdraws, and other gear during longer climbs. The leg loops of any climbing harness should be fully adjustable with a quick simple buckle that gets you in and out fast.

As with all of our climbing gear, Climb High hand picks only the best climbing harnesses and brings them to you at affordable prices.
