Blue Ice CHOUCAS PRO HARNESS Mountaineering Harness

The Blue Ice Choucas Pro Harness is a unisex harness designed for mountaineers and climbers who prioritize speed and efficiency in the mountains. Ultralight and compact, it is intended for technical mountaineers and ice climbers, for whom every gram counts without sacrificing comfort. Its patented leg loop opening system makes it easy to put on even with thick gloves, making it an ideal companion for the harshest winter conditions.

A Blue Ice Choucas Pro Harness tailored for technical mountaineering

Designed for fast-paced mountain expeditions, the Choucas Pro is built from a combination of carefully selected materials: UHMW polyethylene, high-tenacity PES, and aerospace-grade aluminum. These material choices allow for an exceptionally low weight—approximately 145 g in size M—without compromising the strength of the rope attachment points. The reinforced belay bar ensures greater durability in the areas most stressed during rope maneuvers, whether belaying a second climber or securing yourself at a belay station.

Gear organization tailored to high-mountain demands

High-mountain climbing and ice climbing require quick access to gear, even in challenging situations. The Choucas Pro features four gear loops for storing standard equipment, supplemented by four loops dedicated to ice screws directly on the waistbelt. This layout allows for balanced weight distribution and easy access to ice screws without fumbling. The quick-release buckle at the waist simplifies adjustments while climbing, and a rear loop allows you to attach a haul bag when the route configuration requires it.

Comfort and Practicality in Extreme Conditions

The patented thigh loop opening system is one of this harness’s distinctive features. It was designed to allow for easy operation even while wearing gloves, which is a practical advantage during winter or high-altitude climbs. The waist and leg loops are adjustable to fit different body types, and the acetal buckles contribute to the harness’s lightweight design while ensuring reliable retention of settings.

The Blue Ice Choucas Pro Harness combines lightness, ice-specific organization, and practicality in cold conditions—for mountaineers who don’t want to choose between performance and comfort.
