OmegaPacific biners - a word of warning 18-Sep-2005 At 9:16:37 AM brat

Re Shaggy, it was a"full Body harness" not a "chest harness", the procedure at that gym is to have a figure of eight as a backup and a biner as the main tie in, this is to make it easier to swap routes as the figure eight should not get weighted unless the biner fails, the problem was that with the harness short rigged (to give more head room), ie the biner through the tie in points rather than the belay loop, the extra bulk caused the biner to rub the tie in loops, thus the wear. as i said, not an immediate danger, just highlighted the extent of the edge, it wasn't a problem with the replacement biner!
