This is a complete ‘do it all’ harness that boasts all the features you need for any climbing adventure. From a day out sport climbing at your local crags to multi-pitch Himalayan adventures, this harness has you covered.

• Adjustable leg loops with locking steel buckles
• Four gear loops with ample storage for trad or winter climbing

Why the Corax is Perfect for All-Season Climbing

Designed as a fully adjustable, all-seasons harness, the Corax is suitable for every type of climbing activity. Whether you're climbing indoors at a gym in Bangalore or Delhi, tackling outdoor sport climbing in Hampi, or braving the ice falls in Spiti or Ladakh, this harness is built to perform.

Unmatched Comfort and Durability

If you're looking for a durable and comfortable harness that you can spend all day in hanging belays, then the Corax is definitely a harness you should consider.

The waistbelt is super wide at the back with a slight narrow in the lumbar area, tapering down to the double-buckled adjustable front. This design offers total control over the placement of the belay loop and gear rack, ensuring your ice screw racking biner (Caritool) is always in the right place.

Adjustability to Fit Every Situation

For all-round climbers who enjoy sport, trad, and winter climbing, the adjustability of the Corax is invaluable. The adjustable leg loops feature locking steel buckles with a wide range to accommodate larger thighs and extra winter layers. The leg loops can also be adjusted at the back with quick-release buckles, making those pesky toilet stops much easier. Excess webbing can be neatly tucked away using the elasticated retainers on both the waist and leg loops.

Load Up with Confidence: Ample Gear Storage

The Corax harness comes equipped with four gear loops: two rear soft loops that are larger than the pre-shaped front ones. There is ample room for a fully loaded trad or winter rack, with enough space to accommodate 7 or 8 quick draws on each pre-shaped front loop. Additionally, there's a small loop at the center of the back for clipping a chalk bag or escape kit.

Built to Last: Durability You Can Trust

While it’s not the lightest harness in the PETZL range, the Corax is built to last. Its durability and versatility make it ideal for any climbing adventures you have in mind for years to come.
