Alex Honeld once said that being in Black Diamond's solution harness feels like home.

And that's either a ringing endorsement from one of the best or a desperate cry for help. The Royal

we here at the Norma Cass is just going to assume it's the former because the

latter is quite complicated and besides we climb on a solution too.

Not a sport harness or a trad harness, it's the one harness that stays in my pack for everything,

because it's comfy and sveld without all the extra muck-muck.

I mean, really? What's a full strength hall loop actually for?

Anyone? Any one? Neither Smoot or Holly can tell you why you'd ever want 2,000 pounds hanging off

your ass while you're climbing.

So feel like your home in a cleanly designed comfortable solution harness from Black Diamond.

There once was a little boy named Tommy Caldwell. One day a little Tommy decided he wanted to climb a really big wall, but he couldn't find any shoes to climb the big wall in.

So he decided to build his own out of scotch tape, fluffer nutter,

and a used pair of hand jammies left behind by a couple of euros in camp four.

When those didn't work, Tommy called the adults at Sportiva and asked them for help.

Sportiva came up with the TC Pro, named after little Tommy himself.

A shoe so good at big wall climbing that little TC grew up to climb the hardest, biggest big walls in the world in his TC

pros. Then he talked to his best friend teeny tiny Alex H into trying them and Alex, well he

became a pretty good climber too.
