[WISPA] Climbing harness accessories
Anyone have a tower climbing harness tool/junk bag that works better than these: http://bit.ly/LuMGK and http://bit.ly/dLiN1 I had a zippered bag that fit around the harness belt but I can't buy those anymore. Also, we've used and really liked these radio holsters: http://bit.ly/10ER2c Thanks, `S WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Climbing Harness
www.midwestunlimited.com. The Elk River Eagle LE or LX harnesses are good and comfortable at a good price-point. I would highly recommend NOT buying a used harness. Your harness is to keep you from falling to your death and you don't want to rely on a used harness that you don't know the complete history/condition of.

RE: [WISPA] Climbing Harness
Forbes, You will need more than a harness if you don't have any climbing gear already. If you are not an experienced climber - - deal with someone who can lead you in what you do need for the type/style towers you will be climbing. A good start would be: Tennessee Equipment supply Co.

Tessco has them. Although- I went to my local outdoor store/pawn shop last week. They had a whole rack full of climbing harnesses that had been pawned. Not quite sure how to read that one. chris -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Forbes Mercy Sent: Monday, January 22, 2007 3:45 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: [WISPA] Climbing Harness Hello Fellow WISP's I need to purchase a tower climbing harness.

RE: [WISPA] Climbing Harness
Chris, Read those harnesses at the pawn shop like this: D A N G E R!! D A N G E R!! A brand spanking new TOWER harness w/6 D rings costs about $200.00 - - why fool with a used one that may have lain in the back of a pick up for weeks, rain, sleet, snow, stepped on, bunched up, dry rot, molded,,etc? Life is short! They have the printing presses printing more money everyday, but we only have one life to live.

Re: [WISPA] Climbing Harness
I think the one we bought a year ago is an Elk River harness. It has a seat, which is just a bar that goes under your behind. It's very comfortable. Think it was more than 200, more like 300. But you will also need a few different lanyards and such. Harness is useless without the lanyards, safety wise.

Re: [WISPA] Climbing Harness
OSHA (or some big insurance co maybe) recently required that all harnesses on oil rigs were to be replaced with fireproof ones, at least for welders. The yellow nylon ones that are popular with WISPs, etc all showed up on the used market in big quantity. Many of them with minimal wear or apparent damage. My friend who worked on a offshore rig, who climbs for me sometimes said they threw out about 100 of them, many still new in the package. Since they get on/off the rig via chopper, and the personal bags weight is very limited, he couldn't easily bring any home, and I suspect that they ended up like most of the refuse on the rig... at the bottom of the Gulf. Not suggesting that anyone buy a used harness, but just trying to put some possible explanation out there as to why they are there. pd chris cooper wrote: Tessco has them.
