While it is optimized for trad climbing with its five gear loops and extra durability, it works perfectly fine for sport climbing. Just keep in mind that it is built slightly heavier and more robust than a dedicated sport harness to handle the abrasion of granite and crack climbing.

Because they don't adjust, it is important to check the size chart carefully to ensure the leg circumference matches your measurements, especially if you plan to wear it over thick climbing pants.
