  • Alpine climbing

Why we love it

The Solution Guide is the quiver-of-one harness – built for climbers who do desert towers, granite big walls, steep ice and alpine faces across the whole year. Gear loops are sized to take 15 quickdraws each, so linking pitches or racking for a long splitter isn't a problem, and adjustable leg loops plus ice clipper slots make it work in winter over layers. For hanging belays and full days on the wall, the Contour Edge leg loops and waistbelt keep rigidity through the centre but soften at the edges, reducing pressure points and contouring to the body. A seamless Dyneema Infinity Loop handles belaying without the belay-loop shift that catches when you're dogging a route, and a rated rear fifth gear loop takes the extra kit. The women's version has a women's specific rise, waistband shape, and leg-to-waist ratio.
