I am looking for a new rental harness for the climbing wall at my college, and I'm not sure if I want to get another batch of Trango Ascents. If anyone has suggestions for harnesses that are pretty affordable that they liked I would really appreciate the help.
Thanks,
Brian

matt17,
Alma College in Michigan. If you have your own gear we'd just have to do a quick check to make sure it wasn't horribly worn or anything, but yeah we let people use there own gear. We don't really run into that too much because there isn't much interest in climbing in Alma other than the college club that I am the president of. If you are in the neighborhood you should drop in, we're open from 4-10 mon-thur, 3:30-7:30 fri, 12-5 sat, 3-8 sun.

The one sizes ones are idiot proof, not to mention cheap. You wouldn't want to spend much time hanging in one, but you won't have to will you?
