I was looking at that one when I bought my son's harness but it didn't go small enough. I thought it looked a nice harness though. Not a proper sit harness though....

That looks to me like it would get very uncomfortable when up a tree. You want a harness that'll support your weight when sitting in it for a long time.

Get an tree climbing harness, 35m rope, 2 prussik loops and 2 krabs, like said before some of the best climbers i know still use blakes/ prussik.

 

No need to rush anything. Will climb with you on simons rec climb dude and have some fun hanging about. I went from hitch climber back to blakes and havent looked back

Yea will wait until the rec day and look at the different gear!

You back on a blakes now Arran....? I used to get frustrated with it jamming up.

Fair play to you, back to the old school....

Aeris is pretty cheap and seems to be OK for both SRT & DDRT, not to mention mechanicals, so a good all round rope....

 

Have you tried climbing on aeris? No offence but I wouldn't recommend it for the OP.

 

A nice cheap 13mm will do you fine.

Yep, I have some aeris... Jack can give it a go in a couple of weeks. Bit fruity without gloves but I don't think it needs to be reserved for experts
