Put the tape on the tag with the manufacture ratings/names etc. It wont effect the sling's strength and you prob dont need to have easy acess to that information.
Uh, no. Thanks, but I like to know what I am clipping when I am sharing someone else's rack. Maybe you don't climb with lots of partners, but I do.

If I see someone has taped over all of their gear tags, and I can't glance at the tags to see what company they are made by and what strength they are rated to (and if they are CE etc.) then I am NOT GOING TO CLIP THEM.

I also hate it when people tape their 'beaners at the stamp. Again, if I can't read the stamp to see who made it and what it's strength is/CE then I just won't clip it.

I've run out whole pitches just to drill it into my partners head that they shouldn't be clipping things if they don't know every detail about them.

wouldn't it be better to actually clip the uncertain piece of hardware and realize that it might not actually hold instead of running it out an entire pitch just to prove a point? Just a thought.
