I just bought one.

It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

AND, it's nice to know I can haul a car behind me with that haul loop (3500lb rating). :D

Been climbing on onw for over a year, I use it for FREE CLIMBING, it takes the sting out of falls especiallty on the leg loops, adn all the loops and hard loops are great for hanging FA gear from.

I just wish they had a chainsaw loop so I could really savage the delicate exotic endangered vegetation in a little more comfort.

I wonder why this would be posted in AIDS climbing when said harness will only be used for indoor route setting by the owner (welcome back punk)?

Aid climbing is an important aspect of routesetting. I've got a bunch of sexy gear.

I'm getting around to using it outside. Tradclimbingbaby.

You are a moron Organ Boy. Aids climbing has nothing to do with climbing in a gym. Please stay inside and out of my sport.

I love you, Addi. I really do. But you're being foolish in defining what is and isn't. I'm using a whole lot of the same gear you do to make progress up a wall.

It doesn't matter. I'm just happy about learning stuff. Knowledge rules.

Thanks for the welcome, Krusty.

I love my Sheild harness! And the fact that I could get the leg loops and waist seperate sizes was bonus.

Ok, enough out of all of you. I demand someone sell me a Shield for a very discounted price as it's either I buy one that manner, or I buy one with money I cant afford to spend. :twisted:
