    Any diabetic climbers?

    Just putting it out there... You might consider rerouting the pump? Not sure. Either way I'd be very cautious letting someone climb on a crew with no other rescue climbers if they're dependant on a constant stream of insulin

    I ran a ergolite for years and never had that issue. Are you overweight ? Skinny ? Tall? Short? Do you have the correct size harness ? Apart from that, you can set the adjustment buckles so it sits lower or higher on your hips
