In reply to deacondeacon:
I showed them this article on ukc:
https://www.ukclimbing.com/articles/features/online_budget_gear_-_the_peril...
Someone else a few months ago (another newbie) had the harness in that very article.
I tried to educate them on the health and safety regs and how reputable companies test all of their equipment. How cheap imports from China may not conform to these strict tests. But it's hard to stop people with little knowledge buying these online.
Our wall is an unmanned, it was just lucky i was in when they were.
