It looks like a North49 Barrel Harness

u/withabeard · 5 pointsr/climbing

It should be fine, still with the same ratings as anything else.

However, if you're unsure then do you really want to trust a 3yo to it?

Any reason to go with the unknown brand specifically? There are 2 petzl harnesses linked from that very page that are the same price.

the wall at my school has these. not the comfiest, but also not uncomfortable either, assuming you're not sitting in it for long. since there's no pads, the straps can adjust a ton and it's one size fits all.

First, you're going to have an impossibly hard time trying to rig a primitive past 100'. The max I've ever rigged one is 120', and that was over a fairly forgiving valley and 6' off the ground at each end. Even then it was 1' off the ground by the time I was in the middle, and that was with a multiplier and two guys hauling on it. If you want to start getting into longer lines you really need to invest in a pulley system. There are a ton of write-ups on this already and I'd suggest checking out NW Slackline for some solid info.

Personally I use the following for my longline setup:

  • 2x SMC Double pulleys

  • 2x 10' Green round sling

  • 250' threaded, tubular webbing, made from standard 1" webbing with 5/8" threaded inside. After using different, more expensive solutions in my friend's kits, I found this both cheaper, and more comfortable to walk on. Plus I had the 1" webbing laying around anyway.

  • 1x 60m static rope. Nothing fancy, the cheapy $100 stuff on amazon works.

  • 1x GriGri 2 - you can find these cheaper used.

  • Another 10-12' sling to anchor the GriGri. This can be standard webbing as it's only taking ~1/4 of the force on the line at any given time.


  • 1x SMC Single for the multiplier

  • 1x Rope grab again for the multiplier

  • 3x 1 ton bow safety shackles - no link, had these around the house. Get ones that fit inside the pulley beckets for a more minimal setup.

  • Some number of STEEL, SCREWGATE carabiners. I'd have to open my kit up to count them. Connects all the bits together. Not hard to find at any outdoors store.

  • 4x Steel rap rings. Again you can find these at most outdoors stores.

  • Some extra bits of greater than 1" webbing to protect your line at the anchor points.

  • Beefy tree protection. My girlfriend made me some amazing double walled, super thick felt ones with straps and tie-offs, but it's not hard to make yourself with a sewing machine and some patience.


    There's probably a few things I'm forgetting as it's winter and I haven't set my line up in a while. However this should be a good place to start, and get you an idea of budget. Longlines are expensive, but it's really a one time investment on gear that taken care of properly will last 10-15 years, excepting the line which is 5 years max.

    I have some pictures kicking around if you'd like to see how it goes together. Feel free to shoot me any questions you might have.

I have the Mirage harness by Mammut in the small size. I do all my climbing in a gym, but I find it comfortable and it fits my 27 inch waist without being pulled as tight as it goes. That being said it doesn't quite go tight enough around my thighs, but it has never caused any discomfort or problems while climbing.

u/morosesarered · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

it would either be this (as a female planning to live in NYC this summer, I need this shit), my climbing gear [1] (http://www.amazon.com/Mad-Rock-Ultra-Screw-Carabiner/dp/B000TTNCWK/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=5F0OY4EGJFD5&coliid=IK5YOC9LOVZFE) 2 3, or my old spice body spray.

I have this harness. Its super comfortable to hang in and I feel like the leg loops are bigger than some of the other harnesses.
