Ontario, California (August 8, 2012) – Mountain Mama and Mad Rock Climbing unveiled the world’s first harness for pregnant climbers at Outdoor Retailer Summer Market 2012.

Called Mountain Mama by Mad Rock, the full-body adjustable harness was created with an eye for comfort and safety.

The innovative molded padded leg loops are combined with an “X”-Strap design at mid-back that supports and cradles the torso with wide, flexible webbing. An open design through the midsection accommodates a growing belly without bunching or squeezing, while side webbing connects low and away from the chest to allow a full-range of arm motion.

Fully adjustable shoulder straps and leg loops ensure a precise fit, and tie-in at the sternum keeps everything upright. Flexible equipment loops at the sides keep gear at easy reach.

MSRP: $120
