Jonathan_S Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 For those of you using the Camp XLH 95, how are you securing the harness when tied into the middle of a rope? That is, end of the rope is easy: just tie it through the two little loops at the wasit. But middle of the rope (for glacier travel), previously I had been securing the two little loops with a small locking biner (as one poster noted previously, and how all the etailers suggest). But then I started reading Connally's book (yeah, perhaps a potential mistake there, as he goes off to tilting against the windmills of conventional wisdom), and he's very concerned about cross loading, and big fan of using a small sling to extend the harness's attachment point. After some experimentation, I think a small girth-hitched (a term I hesitate to use after Connally's rant about it) loop to both secure the harness and extend the attachment point, in combination with a super small wire biner (or "too new for school" in Connally's view) would work well: more xlh 95 pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
