I do know the mayor climbing brands. I just have no idea which one is more innovative, has better designs, certain specific type of equipment, etc. I am familiar with tying a harness with webbing, also know as a “swissseat”. But for safety reasons, I will go for a proper harness. Mine life is a lot more worth than those 40 euros I save.

I’m looking for information from more than just one climber, I want to be able to see all kinds of different perspectives from different people about climbing equipment. Something a single employee generally can’t give.

I'm also planning on buying mine gear from an actually store, after testing it. I could safe money on the internet, but actually testing the comforts and build quality before buying, can't be beaten.
