Originally, a few years ago, I bought the Singing Rock Top harness for via ferrata routes. Later, as I started climbing more, I replaced it with a different harness. However, I still find it great for certain activities because it’s completely black, simple, and comes in a universal size – all for around €40 (as […]

This article was sponsored by Austrialpin. The Fifty:Fifty carabiner from AustriAlpin seemed a bit strange to me at first. After all, the locking mechanism is unique.
