What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I've used the Summit Harness on glacier crossings and long alpine routes, and it nails the balance between low bulk and essential features. The drop-seat design is a lifesaver when you're roped up with crampons on, and the minimalist padding keeps it light without feeling flimsy. It's my go-to for big mountain missions." We trust the Misty Mountain Summit Harness to keep us secure when the terrain gets steep and the stakes get high. Purpose-built for alpine climbing, mountaineering, and glacier travel, this harness uses a die-cut waist belt that reduces bulk and weight while providing just enough cushioning for long days in the mountains. The drop-seat design allows us to put the harness on or adjust it without removing skis or crampons-an essential feature when moving efficiently in cold, exposed conditions. Adjustable leg loops deliver a custom fit over varying layers, and smartly placed holdup adjusters sit below the waist to prevent pressure points under a heavy pack. Finished with downturned gear loops, ice screw slots, and a rear haul loop, the Summit Harness is ready for any alpine challenge we can dream up.
