Ok, so after a week of hard climbing out at J-Tree, I have come to the conclusion that this harness officially kicks ass. The added gear loops are awesome for organizing your pieces for leading, the wider legs and waist straps make hanging around so much more comfortable, and its durable. After taking a couple of good whippers and running along the side of the rock face, all that happened were some scrapes on the paint of the buckles. I really like the two belay loops as well, makes climbing up with a rope in tow a whole lot less complicated matter. Overall, I love this harness!

I think so far I have done something like 5 or 6 climbs in this harness over one weekend with several multi-pitch. Some trad, some sport. All in all, great harness. Nice and lightweight and fits well. The gear loops are good but loading it down with my whole trad rack was a little confusing though mostly likely due to me, not the harness. The big loop in the back is a great deal but does tend to lure you into bring a ton of extra stuff because you can stash it back there. Does potentially make it hard to get to your chalk bag. I like the idea of combing this with a lightly loaded chest harness, just a few pieces. Over all, four stars.
