Chinese climbing gear

[Craig Johnson]

you need to watch out as some of the Chinese gear is 'CE' marked, which means Chinese export and looks very similar to an official one(not as close together and not as rounded) at first glance

Thanks htb. I'm a bit dopey when it comes to that kinda thing.

 

I should just add that with the Camp harness we noticed that the straps between hip and legs had a tendancy to come loose once you started moving about in it. If you ended up inverted there's every chance you could fall out of it.

Don't know about the Zero yet but the Camp Access is not so bad. You do have to adjust the straps to shift balance otherwise yeah, you tip back. Once you tweak it right it's pretty good, a few guys of different builds tried it too.

The CE mark is as mentioned an exactly proportioned 'logo' that can be checked, details are on the net. Fakes rarely match up correctly.

The camp harness is also featured in the ArbClimbr mag.

buy cheap, buy twice.

i want my climbing kit to be as safe as i can, within budget.
