- If you climb long enough eventually you will forget a key piece of equipment . . . such as a climbing harness. This video shows how to make a harness using the climbing rope, a double-length sling (120cm runner), a locking carabiner, and two quick draws. The primary technique used to create the harness is the bowline-on-a-coil, which was used before harnesses were widely available. This improvised harness is one of the more comfortable I have used, and is much more comfortable than the "Swiss Seat". I have led pitches of rock and ice and done half-a-dozen rappels with it. Not that I recommend it if you have a real harness available :). This technique is also helpful to know in the event that you become involved in a rescue where you may not have access to a harness, but you have access to another party's rope and a few other resources.
Interesting. I've seen improvised rope harnesses and improvised webbing harness, but this is the first time I've seen them together. This looks very practical.
old school Military mountaineering, had do exactly that in Ranger School in 1995. flash fwd to 2019 to buddy and I are doing a mutliple pitch climb that he has been wanting to do for a couple yrs. as we dumped out gear he realized his harness was in car still... webbing swami belt to the rescue
This is awesome, I love the idea. However, I think I would use a prusik cord instead of the quick draws. Could just girth hitch the middle to the belt, then tie to each leg.
thanks for the vid, will give this a go.
Nicely done
Thank you for sharing!
Well done. Great idea!
Thanks for the video!
Clever rope "socks" there......
My only concern is using a locking biner as a belay loop... It looks like it would tri-load the biner and make it susceptible to breaking
seems too complicated and not very comfortable. just tie a swiss seat.
