Climbing Harness for 14 yr old

[David_Parker]

Anyone recommend a good harness that won't break the bank for a 14 year old. Rock and alpine both....

My 13 yo wears a Black Diamond Mometum AL, works well for rock, a bit bulky for alpine especially under a pack waist belt, but reasonably light weight. The BD Bod/Alpine Bod are good as well, although the buckle is a bit of a pain to double back, especially if it's cold out. Momentum's run about $55, bods $35 - 40. Mammut Focus is "pre-buckled" so you don't have to fuss with doubling it back, again a bit bulky for alpine.
