The CAMP Quartz CR features fast-adjusting and fully releasable Sicura buckles on the waist and legs to help you add and remove layers and crampons on your next alpine ascent. Designed for use on the rock, ice, and high in the mountains, the Quartz CR harness provides plenty of padding for hanging belays and remains nimble enough to take on fast-and-light alpine routes. Four gear loops hold all the gear you need for rope-stretching pitches, and CAMP added a haul loop to let you bring along a tag line for descents.

Bottom Line:Any climb, any time.

Recently, I was on trip to Red Rock and a guy we climbed with had this harness. He espoused the qualities of the harness and pointed out the features of the straps etc. Since I was looking for a new harness, I took his word for it and ordered one when I returned. I have been very happy with the harness. It is comfortable when climbing and belaying. It helps me feel an extra measure of safety and comfort when I am climbing and that is important. If you are looking for a durable, comfortable, and very secure harness, look no more. This harness fits the bill. Try it and I am sure you will like it.
