The Right Harness
When traveling in steep or glaciated terrain you often have to add or remove leg layers but don’t have the option of completely removing your harness. Having a light-weight alpine-style harness, such as the Black Diamond Alpine Bod, allows you to quickly and safely remove the leg loops without having to remove the harness or undo tight webbing buckles. Padded harnesses are often unnecessary and uncomfortable in alpine and glaciated terrain.
