Ilene,
My harness is a Gemtor #922SPL with a replaceable shock absorbing lanyard
and rope grab for a 5/8"-3/4" rope. We buy from an industrial safety
company.
Our training is done by Spider Scaffolding in NYC. I don't know how or who
would do it in your neck-o-d-woods.

OK, sign me up! What are names of one or two sources of the harnesses, and
who does training. Remember, I am in Michigan, so midwestern sources would
be appreciated.
I've survived by using harnesses provided by contractors for years, as I
only need it for short durations every year or two, but perhaps cumulatively
I would have benefited from having my own all these years. The provided
equipment has always been comfortable and clean, so I have felt this was
appropriate and respectful of my visitor status.
Also, a plug for Vertical Access. When scaling really difficult places,
those guys are great. Because they are knowledgable about what they are
seeing, it makes their photos, comments, and video feeds very useful. They
always make a good media event in a small town, too, and everyone is totally
impressed. That makes us look good, too, because we bring the experts to
assist us.
I love my work, but I want to be safe to tell the stories...like you, Ken.
Thanks.
