Tel: +971 4 276 6388, 0564783184 formed by RHSO How to Fit and Test a Harness The text below provides some general information that applies to many harnesses. However, it’s important to always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific Harness model. Steps for Putting on a Harness 1. First loosen the straps on both leg loops (if they are adjustable) and then the strap securing the waist belt. 2. Have the user step into the harness. Pay careful attention that the leg loops are not crossing, the belay loop is not twisted and that the waist belt is not upside down. The belay loop should face the front of the harness. 3. Situate the waist belt slightly above the iliac crest, which is near belly–button level for most people. Having the waist belt above the hips ensures that the user will not accidentally slip out of the harness in the event they fall upside down. Once the waist belt is situated, tighten it securely. 4. There should be no more than a 2–finger gap in slack between the waist and the harness. Make sure that the buckle is doubled back not necessary if the buckle is an (auto double–back model). 5. A well–fitted harness should have the ability to adjust to a larger and smaller size equally, allowing the harness to grow or shrink in diameter. A harness that is “maxed out” or at the end of its range of adjustability is not unsafe; however it may be difficult to get in or out of and may limit versatility. 6. Adjust the leg loops, 1 at a time. Some harnesses do not have adjustable leg loops and will use a piece of elastic to allow the leg loop to stretch. 7. The exact placement of leg loops is less important than the waist belt; it is based more on comfort. Make sure that the loops allow mobility and do not pinch in a manner that could hurt. We find that placing the leg loops close to the groin and having a 2–finger Gap in slack between the loop and my leg works best. 8. The tighter your leg loops, the more snug and comfortable the user will be while hanging freely, although range of movement can be restricted. Conversely, looser leg loops allow for more mobility and motion but are not as comfortable to dead–hang in. The harness is safe in either case, so ultimately the user must make the personal call on comfort. 9. Finally, make sure the buckles on each loop are doubled back. The user is now ready to test your harness. Steps for Testing a Harness 1. It is impossible to tell if a harness will truly be comfortable without hanging in it or weighting It. When the harness is weighted, it should feel relatively comfortable and be easy for the user to sit upright (like a chair). 2. The waist belt should not shift or move excessively. If it does, it should be tightened until the shifting stops. The harness should also not feel like it digs too hard into the skin. If there are any noticeable points of pressure, then consider trying a different harness. You can also test for shifting by trying to pull the waist belt down over the hips. You should not be able to. Abdullah Al Othaim Leisure & Tourism Co. P.O.Box:50710, Unit 2301, 2302, 2303, 2304, Grosvenor tower 24th floor, Tecom, Dubai, UAE. Tel: +971 4 276 6388, 0564783184 formed by RHSO 3. If the user feels like they are using too much of their core to keep themselves upright, you might need to adjust the rise of the harness. Each leg loop has an elastic strap on the back that can be adjusted in length. Shortening the rise should help allow the user to sit upright in the harness without using too much of their core. If adjusting the rise does not help, try a different harness. 4. Just remember, everybody is different and not every harness will fit perfectly. It is Important too Safety Rules Stationary Climbing Wall BEFORE YOUR CLIMB STARTS After you are hooked into your harness, stay in the harness area. Wait until we tell you to go to the climbing area. Don’t step on the Auto-Belay cable while you wait to start. DURING YOUR CLIMB Stay on the climbing route for your station. Don’t cross over to put yourself directly beneath or above another climber. Don’t climb without shoes or a top. Don’t climb beyond the wall top. Don’t go beyond chest-height to the wall top. DURING YOUR RAPPEL DOWN Don’t kick off more than 6 or 8 feet from the wall. Descend straight down, and don’t swing too close to other climbers. Be alert for other climbers beneath you, who may have strayed from their routes. AT THE END OF YOUR CLIMB When you are lowered to the ground at the end of the climb, land on your feet. After your climb is complete, wait for us to unhook you. Once you have been unhooked, go to the harness area where we will remove your harness. Please do not try to remove the harness yourself Special situations The vast majority of climbs take place without any difficulty or interruption, but sometimes a problem can occur. Here’s what to do. Climber frozen at top 1. Ask the climber to stay calm. Say that you are going to come up and can occur. Here’s what to do. 2. Put on a harness. Abdullah Al Othaim Leisure & Tourism Co. P.O.Box:50710, Unit 2301, 2302, 2303, 2304, Grosvenor tower 24th floor, Tecom, Dubai, UAE. Tel: +971 4 276 6388, 0564783184 formed by RHSO 3. As the climber next to the frozen climber finishes his or her climb, clip into the Auto-Belay cable and climb the wall. 4. When you reach the frozen climber, show the climber the climbing holds to climb down. NOTE. Encouraging the climber to rappel down generally will not work. Climber reports discomfort 1. Ask the climber to stay calm. Ask the climber if he or she is comfortable rappeling down. If so, then ask him or her to do so. (If not, follow the procedure for “Climber frozen at top,” above.) 2. If the problem is with the climber’s harness comfort, then adjust the harness, and let the climber begin climbing again. 3. If a climber is unable to resume for whatever reason, unhook and send the climber back to the harness area. Climber is intentionally reckless 1. Ask the climber to take it easy. If he or she persists: a. If you do not believe adjacent climbers would be endangered, tell the reckless climber to rappel down or climb down now; or b. If you believe other climbers might be endangered, tell the reckless climber to freeze at his or her position, and ask the other adjacent climbers to rappel down first (you can let them restart once the reckless climber is removed from the wall.) Then, tell the reckless climber to either rappel down or climb down. 2. Unhook the climber and send the climber to the harness area. Climber too light to rappel down 1. Ask the climber to stay calm. 2. Put on a harness. 3. As the climber next to the frozen climber finishes his or her climb, clip onto the Auto-Belay cable and climb the wall. 4. When you reach the climber, grab his or her Auto-Belay cable. Then your weight and the climber’s weight will cause both of you to rappel down. Auto-Belay cable retracts to top of wall 1. Put on a harness. 2. Clip onto an Auto-Belay cable and climb the wall. 3. Grab the loose Auto-Belay cable and bring it down. When you get to the bottom, attach it to the bolt hanger at the bottom of the wall. Abdullah Al Othaim Leisure & Tourism Co.
