Gearing Up for the Haute Route

This short video is to help you stay motivated through the summer, the 2011 Haute Route trip is going to happen. Stegs was sitting on my deck the night before last, sipping wine and talking gear. To that end I bring you a thought and a decision to be made ... you need to have a harness for skiing on the glacier. 1) Your climbing harness will do; 2) absent that you may borrow an NCS climbing harness. (These are safe but I'll be honest they are not light.) Or, 3) you may purchase your own. With that in mind I have enclosed a link to an "Off Piste" review of the Black Diamond Couloir, their lightweight, full featured, ski mountaineering harness.
