climbing harness

A climbing harness is a secure equipment worn around the waist and legs designed to attach a climber to ropes, anchors, or safety systems. It distributes the force of a fall evenly across the body, reducing injury risk. Made from strong, durable materials like nylon and reinforced with padding for comfort, harnesses typically include adjustable straps for a snug fit, gear loops for equipment, and a central attachment point called an belay or tie-in point. Properly fitted and used correctly, a harness ensures safety during climbing, rappelling, or rescue activities.
