How to Put On and Wear a Climbing Harness
The only way a climbing harness will fail is if you put it on wrong, so take the extra time and effort to do it right.
Step1
Read and understand the harness manufacturer's instructions.
Step2
Untangle the harness and hold it up in front of you.
Step3
Identify the front and back of the harness and the left and right leg loops.
Step4
Make sure there are no twists in the harness, then step through the leg loops.
Step5
Pull the harness up your legs until the leg loops are at the top of your thighs.
Step6
Wrap around the waist belt above your hips, and feed the nylon strap through the belt buckle.
Step7
Snug the waist belt tightly so you won't fall out of your harness if you flip upside down.
Step8
Back-feed the buckle (meaning refeed the belt back in through the buckle) so the waist belt cannot slip. This is a crucial step, so check twice to make sure you did it correctly.
