Children’s harness
Having children myself and also being an instructor, I have found this review most insightful. It is great to have this sort of information because, as James Wynne says at the start of his review, there are not too many shops around where you can go in and try a variety of kids harnesses ion to see what fits best.

Should you wear a climbing helmet?
When climbing or instructing outdoors, I always wear a helmet. What are your thoughts?
