What’s the difference between a harness and a climbing harness?
A harness is a general term for any equipment designed to secure a person by distributing forces across multiple attachment points, covering both full-body harnesses (encompassing the torso and legs) and climbing harnesses. A climbing harness, on the other hand, is a specific type of harness worn only around the waist and legs. Full-body harnesses are often used for children or in situations where extra safety is required, while climbing harnesses are more common among adult and experienced climbers.
At what age can your child start climbing?
Climbing can be introduced as early as 3 to 4 years old, depending on your child’s development. At this age, the focus is on fun indoor activities tailored to their size and abilities. Between 6 and 7 years old, children generally start more technical sessions, learning the basics of safety and independence. It’s important to use appropriate gear, such as full-body harnesses for younger kids, to ensure their safety.
