It is large enough to accommodate several knots and has a very wide gate opening – just what you need in a rigging situation. All of which makes it a great centre use biner, but the story doesn’t end there.
Despite its name, the Big Boa is surprisingly light; by giving it an I-Beam construction we’ve reduced the overall weight by almost 25%. Add in the fact that it is easy to handle in gloves and the appeal to winter climbers is obvious. Also available in DMM colour packs for easy identification.
Super Couloir Harness
Need a harness for winter sports – well, you’ve come to the right place. The Super Couloir is designed for ice climbing, alpine climbing, mountaineering and ski touring; you could even use it for rock climbing but we’d probably recommend something a bit more padded for that.
It’s light, easy to put on (even
snowshoes) and has plenty of racking for gear and screws. The ‘diaper’ pull through leg loops design allows you to put it on without undoing any cumbersome buckles (a task especially difficult with gloves on) or standing into the leg loops.
We’ve used ‘supported’ 44mm webbing on the waistbelt – this is surprisingly comfortable on hanging belays, it’s also low profile so it will fit snugly under your rucsac.
This harness has proved a firm favourite with the DMM team of winter gear testers, which includes top alpinists such as Nick Bullock
