Edelrid Autana

Yes, it is designed specifically for alpine environments. The fully opening buckles on the waist and leg loops allow you to put the harness on or take it off without removing your skis or crampons.

The Autana is engineered specifically for the female anatomy. It features a tailored waist-to-leg ratio and a geometry designed to sit comfortably on the female frame, preventing the common issue of the harness riding up or feeling restrictive during movement.

Absolutely. The harness is equipped with five gear loops, providing ample space for quickdraws, cams, and other protection. It also includes two laminated attachment points specifically for ice clippers, making it versatile for both rock and ice climbing.

The Autana features abrasion-resistant tie-in points with an integrated wear indicator. If you see the inner red threads becoming visible through the outer layer, it is time to retire the harness.

While it is lightweight and minimalist for alpine use, it uses 3D mesh padding and soft edges to distribute weight effectively. It is comfortable for long days on the wall, though it prioritizes packability and mobility over the heavy, plush padding found in dedicated sport climbing harnesses.
