No reviews yet.
The Cuesta is a super light option for rock climbers, and if you get on with the fit then I would recommend it very highly. You might want to size up from your usual size. It is well specified for trad climbers, and the feather weight design will put it on the radar of sport climbers looking for marginal gains. Every part of the harness feels high quality, and it sticks well to its brief by only including features rock climbers need.
Cuesta Harness Details
A pictoral representation of UIAA-105 and EN-12277 standards for harnesses.
The UIAA equipment standard provides a baseline for equipment performance in a test lab under controlled conditions on new equipment. Although these test conditions are relevant to the conditions encountered climbing, conditions encountered at the crags and the condition of the equipment are equally important. This recommendation from the UIAA member federation The British Mountaineering Council (BMC) provides vital equipment information that is NOT explicitly addressed in the standard, particularly failure modes of the equipment and recommendations for the use, inspection, maintenance, and retirement of equipment.
