Is this Harness as good as everyone says? Is it okay? Is there a better one at this website that I should know about? Is there any others that you like better?

I agree with AB, but I think that the Bod is a better harness. If you are going to do any vertical or near vertical climbing, look at the Black Diamond Iris. It is a female specific harness and from what I have heard is very comfortable. http://www.backcountry.com/store/BLD0287/Black-Diamond-Iris-Harness-Womens.html

There are lots of better harnesses on this site. Dozens of them. But if you are only using the harness for walking around on glaciers and other alpine stuff, go for it. Anything steeper or more technical you need a padded harness, keep shopping.
