Leaving the belay certification tag on their harness for the entirety of their week long trip out west.

Hey! Don't be hatin'. I take em off and I lose em and then it's a minor hassle to get replacements and everyone at the gym has jokes because I lost my shit. Much easier to just leave em on.

Me too. I travel a lot for my job so I have several of these puppies. The only way I can keep them w/o loss is on my harness. I know it's dorky, but....

I've been climbing 30+ years. Guess I'm still a noob Wink

You could've put them on your keys, or something.

Actually, that's just another reason to move out west, dude. You get out to the crags often enough that you only go to the gym during the winter anyway. So you never have to show up at the crag with the tag on, or at the gym without it.

I hear that, man. I'd love to pack up and head out that way. One of these days...
