    This product is for…

    Climbers who need one harness across multiple disciplines — trad, sport, ice, mixed, and alpine. The adjustable leg loops make it practical for layered cold-weather outings.

    Worth noting…

    Kevlar construction is noted for long-term durability. Black Diamond recently enlarged the gear loops — a specific upgrade hosts flag as meaningful for carrying a full rack.
