The Alp Mountain is a cutting-edge, ultralight and compact harness that features our innovative load webbing construction. It is more durable, comfortable, lighter, and faster to use than the existing lineup of mountaineering harnesses. Thanks to the blend of lightness, comfort, and ease of taking the Alp Mountain off and on, the harness is ideal for alpinism, ski mountaineering and high-level mountaineering. The Alp Mountain can be fully opened to be quickly put on or stripped off while standing in place wearing skis or crampons. Simply insert the waist belt through the belay loop and then close the buckles on the waist and legs. Webbing tabs on the buckles make them easy to de-thread while wearing gloves or mittens and the proprietary Sicura buckle design gives the security of steel auto-locking functionality at these critical connection points without losing the ability to quickly remove the harness.

Gear LoopsNumber of Gear LoopsGear loops are used to hold gear (quickdraws, cams, etc) onto your harness. 4 gear loops is most common. 
0 - 1 Gear LoopsMost often on full body harnesses or guide/gym style harnesses. 2-3 Gear LoopsMostly found on lighter harnesses made for [ski] mountaineering or high-end sport climbing where weight is a high priority. 4 - 5 Gear LoopsThe standard/most common number for climbing harnesses. Perfect for sport and trad. More Than 6 Gear LoopsDesigned for long multi-pitch and big wall climbing, found on harnesses made to hold the maximum amount of gear. Worth ConsideringOccasionally, the number of gear loops will change on a harness model depending on the size. There could be 7 gear loops for the med/large but only 5 gear loops for the xsmall/small. In this case we list the highest number for the filters, and then write an explanation on the product page like, “Size S/XS can only fit 5 gear loops.” | 3 Gear loops |
Ice Clip SlotsIce Clip SlotIce clipper slots are made to fit a carabiner that holds ice screws. These slots are generally only used by ice climbers but there is no disadvantage to having them on your harness. 
Less than 40% of harnesses will have ice clipper slots. And those harnesses will usually have 2 or 4 slots, often located next to, or between, the gear loops. | Yes, 6 |

Haul LoopHaul LoopTrad climbers often look for a haul loop as they're intended to haul a rope (second line) or pack (while you climb the chimney). 
A haul loop can also hold shoes or other accessories. Although not the intended use, it is also commonly used to hold a chalk bag. | No (0kN) |

The Alp Mountain has three gear loops: one on each hip and another at the back. The side loops have a clear plastic shield to provide rigidity and longevity but unfortunately can also create pressure points under the waist belt of an expedition pack (trimming the plastic shield should fix the issue). The rear gear loop is great if you need to tow a toboggan, a nice touch if you’re planning a big tour/expedition that requires some sledging. There are also 3 ice clipper slots, one on either side of the hip gear loops and another at 4 and 8 on the clock (with the belay loop at 12).
