Harness' and rec climbing

[Alasdair]

Hey all,

 

The wife seen me climbing a tree and said oh that looks fun as in i think i might want to give that a go.

 

Anyway the reason for said post, were both into rock climbing and have harness' for that and i have a harness for tree work but theres a significant size difference between me and her so im wondering if it would be ok to use a rock climbing harness to give her a wee taster. I think i already know the answer.

 

Cheers lovely arbtalkers! :thumbup:

I use an old willans harness (rock) for climbing trees but I'm obviously only an amateur. Only a single (central) attachment point so no side to side stability.

cool cheers,

 

I cant see any reason why it wouldnt do, but just wanted to double check.

I started with normal climbing harness but lots of movement and hanging from harness made my belay loop to wear and thats what I dont want, so decided to buy proper thing. Pretty cool to start with, uncomfortable and maybe impossible to sit for some people any longer than 15 secs =)
