Hello all,
This is something I'm sure I should know the answer to, but anyway.
I don't climb much any more - maybe half a dozen times a year - but I'm off climbing next weekend. It occurred to me earlier this year that my current harness is probably ten years old, maybe a bit older - it got used a lot for the first four years, in summer and winter conditions, but has seen little use since then. It's been stored in the warm and dry, it's not showing any visible 'replace this now!' signs of wear or tear, but it is still at least ten years old. Given that it's a vital piece of safety equipment, when should one replace these things?
