Climbing Harness Belay Loop Strength at Arnulfo Summey blog

Climbing Harness Belay Loop Strength. This is the strongest point on the harness and the only part that is load tested. One of the first qc labs we ever did was about belay loops: You should not tie anything around the belay loop, including a daisy chain or sling. Strength of worn belay loops. See examples of figure 8 follow thru, girth hitch, basket, and carabiner methods, and tips on wear and strength. A belay loop is the main connection point between a climber and their climbing equipment, and the part that connects the harness. I've never worried at all about the strength of the belay loop, but my rationale to use it (or not) is purely mechanical. As far as the ce standard for harnesses go, there is no belay loop specific test, rather the belay loop is in the full harness system during testing and must withstand 15kn. Belay loops are burly strong. Learn how to use the belay loop on a harness for different climbing and rescue applications, such as tying in, rappelling, and attaching a tether. 9 wire is rated to 12kn). Anything hard should attach to the belay loop (e.g., a locking carabiner while belaying or rappelling).
