How to label your harness:

Step 1: Using a light colored duct tape, create a tag around one of the gear loops.

Step 2: Use a sharpie to write whatever you want on your duct tape label.

Step 3: Allow the sharpie a few minutes to dry.

Step 1: Admire your new label

Step 2: Adhesive from duct tape degrades gear loop plastic

Step 3: Watch as gear loop breaks and $600 in cams careens down the cliff

Step 4: e-bay microfracture improved cams

Step 5: Profit! (and buy new cams)

Nah, a real trad climber has all his gear on a sling around his body

Bet those nails are strong enough to crimp very small edges!

Won't they shatter from all the induced microfractures?

only if they've been dropped more than 3 ft
