Edelrid OrionThis harness from Edelrid is great in all situtions. With its adjustable leg loops and comfortable wide padding it works just as well aiding up Ozymandius or sport climbing in the Grampians.
In terms of comfort, the Orion holds its shape beautifully, making it easy to get on and off, and is probably the most comfortable men's harness in the store. |

Ice Climbing - In Australia?
This winter HP headed out to Waterfall Gully near the summit of Mt Buller for a quick spot of ice climbing. While not really comparable to New Zealand (or just about anything in the northern hemisphere) he says that it was a "great way to keep his technique in tune". So if you're looking to head to overseas for some winter climbing but you are feeling a tad rusty, then perhaps consider checking out Mt Buller next winter...if the conditions are right. |
