That harness looks quite old. Synthetic fibres deteriorate over time, particularly if exposed to any UV. Wild Country, like most manufacturers, recommends textile products like harnesses be retired after 10 years, even if unused. I'd hazard a guess that this harness is well beyond that and should not be used for climbing.

It's certainly chronologically old. I'd forgotten that I even had it.

It's been in the proverbial cool dark place, seen no UV since it left the shop and has never been used, so never had a load on it. Any illusion of fading in the pics is due only to the light when I took the pics.

Not sure about age related deterioration. It has never been an issue for me with synthetic tents, sleeping bag shells, seat belts, snatch straps and whatever.

I don't want to put anyone at risk, and I hate waste, but if anyone can substantiate the risk of age based deterioration, I'll happily bin it.

Oops - hadn't noticed FCs referrral to WCs recommendation. I'll bin it and lock the listing.
