B, Anything will work. Remeber they used to send walls wearing only swamies! However, if you want to have a functioning set of kidneys when you are done, best to get something thick and padded. FISH makes a great wall harness, super thick, and all beef. Also might want to checks out the YATES wall harness, it too is a beefy monster with hella lumbar support. Misty mountain also makes a "wall" harness called the cadillac, looks good. Black diamond also makes a harness specific to walling, called (you guessed it) the big wall harness. However if you are just trying to find a harness that will work for walls, trad, etc, just check out some of the many models. I have an older BD Mentor and it works fine. All the models specific to big walling tend to be thicker with lots o lumbar support, big gear loops and a clip in for the haul/tag line. So go try them on, and see if the people in the store will let you sit there clipped to the wall for 5 hours, to simulate that belay marathon. Good LUck!

Brian,

I recently got a Misty Mountain Titan harness. Its desigened for all around use, including walls. Very comfy, great gear loops, totally adjustable. Hard to find in new england, though. I ordered it straight from Misty. I've hung in it, and its cozy.
