Sendero 2023

I can tighten it up so it fits snug for warm-weather climbing, but I have plenty of room left to add layers for subzero days of ice climbing. The gear loops are set back from the front of the harness, which helps keep stuff out of the way when climbing, which I think is a nice plus. The ice clipper slots are well-placed. Although there are only two of them I was able to rack up to 16 screws with larger ice clippers. Something like a Petzl Caritool Evo can be used to expand its capacity for ice screws. This harness is very comfortable for how light it is. And the fact that it meets Bluesign criteria is a nice plus. My only criticism of this harness is the size of the gear loops; they seem a bit small compared to other harnesses. I was able to comfortably rack a double set of C4 Camalots from 0.5-4, as well as a double set of nuts on the first two loops. Anything beyond that would lead to awkwardness when removing gear. I put most of my draws and slings on the second two loops, and was able to fit all that I needed. Doubling up draws and carrying runners over the shoulder helped to save space. The rear gear loop is where I put most of my anchor material and personal gear (cordellette, belay device, extra carabiners, prussik loop), but be mindful of how much you put back there. It gets crowded quickly. If you are concious about how you rack your gear and how much you take, or use a gear sling, this becomes a non-issue. All in all it's a solid harness.
