However, this harness - at 3.4 ounces - seems perfect for ski mountainieering. I am buying the damn thing because I do not want to tote my 1.5 pound monster harness across the 160k Haute Route. With 20-20 hindsight, I wish I had it for Pisco and Urus in the Andes. Light is Right. (On a related note, I will also be toting a 3 ounce anorak from C.A.M.P. and it is awesome.)
