DIY - Add a belay loop to your Black Diamond Alpine Bod harness

To add a belay loop to an Alpine Bod harness, simply girth hitch two 12 inch sewn slings through your leg loop and belt. Add a biner and you’re all set to belay and rap off the doubled loops.

If you are wondering why you might want to use a belay loop, here are a few good reasons:

Reason 1: The manufacturers tell you to
Reason 2: It’s plenty strong
Reason 3: Faster, safer, more convenient
Reason 4: The US Mountain Guides Association has some reasons NOT to belay from your harness tie in points.
