Provenance

A friend of Mick Tighe's brought this harness back from a trip to Eastern Europe (Romania we think) It had been used by some rock climbers as their climbing harness and looks like it could originally have been used by some kind of 'utility' engineer for climbing pylons or something similar. A rather bizarre pair of crampons came back from the same trip - see related items.
