Edelweiss Scorpion Climbing Harness - Featured in Climbing Magazine

Climbing Magazine features the Edelweiss Scorpion climbing harness in the 2015 Spring Gear Guide.

The Edelweiss Scorpion climbing harness is featured in Climbing Magazine’s 2015 Spring Gear Guide. Not only did they praise the Scorpion for its sleek profile that does an amazing job at distributing the load to eliminate unwanted pressure points, they were impressed with the new adjustable leg-loop design.

The Scorpion—available in a unisex and female model—is one of Edelweiss’ newest harnesses that uses the Web-Core process that keeps the harness sleek and thin while providing optimal comfort and load distribution. The Scorpion features two waist-belt buckles, adjustable dynamic leg-loops, and four gear-loops.

Web-Core - In order to distribute pressure on both hips and thighs as evenly as possible during a fall or a hanging belay, Edelweiss uses Web-Core to minimize the effects of any impact force. Web-Core is a broad, yet thin and light piece of webbing that is laser-cut to match the ergonomic shape of the harness and then laminated - at high temperatures - to both the interior and exterior of the harness. The benefits of this innovated design provides a thin and compact harness that delivers optimal load distribution without pressure points where it comes in contact with the body.

Double-Buckle Waist-Belt – With two buckles, the harness will provide a properly centered fit in all situations, i.e., more or less clothing is worn or a change in body mass.

Dynamic-Fit Leg Loops - The Dynamic-Fit leg loop adjustment system allows quick and highly precise adjustments of the leg loops without the use of a metal buckle. Once adjusted, they remain stretchy without compressing the user's thighs. The Dynamic-Fit system is an excellent extremely lightweight alternative to traditional metal buckles.

Kar-Aside Gear Loops – The Kar-Aside gear loops provide plenty of clearance from the body for racking gear, making it easier and quicker to clip gear.

"The Edelweiss Scorpion harness is one of the best midweight harnesses I have ever used. It’s super light and comfortable."  

--Cheyne Lempe, Edelweiss athlete and seasoned big wall climber.

Singing Rock Guru Harness Featured In Climbing Magazine

When searching for the ideal climbing harness that caters to almost everything, Climbing Magazine canceled their search after finding the Singing Rock Guru harness.

In their September 2013 issue, they labeled the Singing Rock Guru as the “Awesome All-arounder.” They were impressed with its ability to fully adjust to “fit several body types and sizes with complete comfort.” One tester said that he hung in the Guru for over 30 minutes to take pictures and didn’t experience any pain. Climbing Magazine said that its “bargain basement price” of $50 is possibly the best part about the harness.

The innovative lightweight construction of the Singing Rock Guru gives it a waist belt and leg loops that provide maximum support and comfort. The waist belt and leg loops are made of EVA foam on the inside and PES fabric on the outside. The perforated EVA foam inside the waist belt and leg loops, with 5mm diameter holes, increases the comfort and breathability of the harness while the breathable and high-abrasion-resistant PES fabric keeps the harness from getting ripped to shreds on the sharpest of rocks. In wet or sweaty conditions, moisture is dissipated from the mesh material on the inside of the harness. Around the Guru’s waist belt, the laced technical textile increases the overall rigidity and abrasion resistance.

The three Rock&Lock buckles at the waist and on the leg loops make that Guru a fully adjustable harness that can be put on and removed while still wearing boots, crampons, and even skis. The Rock&Lock buckles make it so that the harness can be quickly and safely adjusted without having to double-back. Singing Rock’s BMI adjustment system provides a customized fit around the waist while keeping the buckle and waist strap together. The Guru features two slots for additional carabiner PORTERS.

The Guru harness has reinforced tie-in points, using PAD webbing, to increase the safety on the part that receives the most abrasive wear. The Guru features 4 braided gear loops with a load capacity of 5kg each. The Guru’s rear haul loop in the back of the waist belt has a load capacity of 30 kg. The 15kN belay loop is that of a different color from the rest of the harness to ensure proper tie-in and attachment while climbing. For added safety, the Guru harness has a fixed bridge between the leg loops in case of an improper tie-in. Plastic buckles in the back allow the adjustable elastic strap that connects the leg loops to the waist strap to be conveniently disconnected.
