Choucas Harness
The reference standard for ski mountaineering.
The Blue Ice Choucas is the harness that defined the category of "put it on without taking your skis off." Now in its fourth generation, it remains the definitive tool for ski mountaineers and alpinists who need a safety system that integrates seamlessly into a fast-and-light workflow. Unlike traditional climbing harnesses that require a balancing act to step into, the Choucas opens fully, allowing you to gear up on a steep slope while keeping your crampons or skis firmly planted in the snow. It packs down to the size of a fist and disappears in your pack until the terrain demands it, offering a reliable, comfortable link to the rope when the consequences of a fall become real.

Our Philosophy
We Simplify Outfitting
Whittaker Mountaineering was born out of the need for RMI to make sure their clients had the appropriate gear to get to the top of Mt. Rainier safely. After decades of trying, reviewing, arguing-over, and recommending gear, we can’t help but know what we’re doing by this point. We know what works, we know what doesn’t, and we use that expertise to stock our store.
