i can think of one person i climb who has a tatty old harness, i may have to just get him a new one myself if he doesn't do it. its one piece of gear that you use every climb, and is a single point of failue (which of course is why they make the belay loop so strong).
If you hit the "Post Trip Report" button while in that forum it will show up in the Trip Report Index. Timmy (one of the other admins) added it just recently.
No, the problem wasn't you, Proc Boy, it was the forum configuration. It was set to only show threads active in the past 3 months. I'm going to check the rest of the new forums as well.
