I worked for a climbing harness manufacturer and it was often quoted that the belay loop had a higher rating than most biners climbers used to tie in, don't let the flexibility of the loop fool you!
I switched from that harness manufacturer to another because all the loops were the same colour, I nearly hooked into the wrong loop when tieing off to rap, because of my stance at the anchor I couldn't view my loops clearly, I've also nearly done it through fatigue, I'm wondering if this has happened! |
