Indoor Climbing Wall
Which climbing harness should I buy?
How do they differ? Personally I want one which can take lots of large hauls but will remain comfortable, padding looks good. I’m not that worried about weight. Also I want it to be quick to put on. I mainly top rope in an indoor climbing wall but when I gain a bit more experience I want to get into leading outside most likely in good conditions, no winter climbing, and I want it to last until then and still be good for it. I’m 29 inches in waist… I thinks thats everything I can give… So what should I buy?
You really need to try them on and see which one feels the best when you put your weight on it.
I would recommend Black Diamond, Petzl, Singing Rock, and Metolius for brands. Personally I love the Black Diamond Focus.

Indoor Climbing and Dry Tooling $21.95 The introduction of the Climbing Wall Award (CWA) scheme in 2008 confirmed that indoor climbing has now become a highly popular sport in its own right. This is the first guidebook to focus on it exclusively and is designed for indoor climbers of both sorts – those who use walls as training venues for their next day out on the rock and those who never climb anywhere else. The book will help beginners learn the basics and then progress to more challenging climbing, indoors and out. It is also for those who instruct at climbing walls. The author, one of the UK”s top climbing instructors, shares his experience and advice on topics such as equipment, warm-up, basic techniques, top and bottom roping, leading, abseiling and bouldering and working with groups. The book is illustrated with color photographs throughout and uses Tips and Notes boxes to highlight important points. |
