Thread: Alpine ropes harness etc

I'm a firm believer that unless you're a skilled and experienced mountaineer, taking mountaineering equipment is more likely to land you in the shit than get you out of it.

Similar to what Ryan says above, the safety gear gives you added confidence. Rather than going "fuck that, I'm not going there" you say "worth a nudge, I've got my harness and rope if I get stuck"... Nek minnit, fell off the rock with a broken cock.
