Raindawg Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Check out some of the many enlightening climbing advice videos posted MOUNTAIN ZONE.COM! A couple of my favorites: "Labeling Your Gear" Some highlights: "this will halt any complaints" and "also in the unfortunate event that someone does tries to steal your gear you can simply point out that hey,that carabiner and that ATC have my colors on them! Use your school colors? I guess you wouldn't want be climbing with anybody elsoe you go to school with. "Care and Storage of Climbing Ladders" Highlights: "In this clip I want to show how to properly maintain and stow a climbing ladder. As you know, climbing ladders are generally used while climbing Big Wall therefore it is very important to maintain this piece of gear." Ladders? Dang! Is that what them thangs are? (George? Didya feed them dogs, George?) Quote

Colors aren't the only way to differentiate gear. Patterns and location can be used as well. See, you *can* teach an old raindawg new tricks! Quote

Dude! the American flag and the French flag aren't the same just because they have the same colours? whoa Quote

Figger_Eight Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 I'm the guy who hasn't marked his gear so when stuff gets mixed up, mine's the stuff with nothing on it. It wasn't by design though. I'm just lazy. Quote

That doesn't work, you dufus. Dude intentionally puts the gear in his "wrong rack" and claims all of the gear, now, with his scent. And you wonder why you can't keep your gear...geez o'Petes. Quote
