Yep another vote for V12 here! And outside in hathersage is good. If you're after a new harness I can't recommend the DMM renegade 2 highly enough. Comfy, adjustable (cool floating waste band) and tons of gear loops.

Oh also, welcome back 🙂

It may take a while to get your head back in order, did for me anyway, but once you get it you may be surprised at all the bad habits you've lost.

A bit blingy?

Hold on there - back in 1999 we were all rocking neon pink highlights on Boreal Lasers and we'd only just got over lycra.

Worth popping into your local Decathlon, they used to have a pretty good tie-in with Petzl and their own brand stuff is competitively priced
