Climbing Harnesses

A climbing harness is an essential piece of equipment used in rock climbing, mountaineering, and other vertical activities. It is designed to secure a climber to a rope, providing safety and support during ascent, descent, and while stationary on a vertical or near-vertical surface.

A climbing harness typically consists of a waist belt and leg loops, which are connected by straps and buckles. The waist belt wraps around the climber's waist, while the leg loops encircle each leg. These components distribute the forces generated during a fall or while hanging on the rope, reducing the risk of injury.
