Marking Gear - Nail Polish? |

I don't see a need to mark gear. You usually only use one rack at a time anyway. Definately steer clear of electrical tape (especially yellow-green earth tape, everyone thinks is unique). When I got my rack I thought I'd copy a mate and mark it with tape. The tape has been gone for years but the stickiness remains.
I also don't see a need to mark the middle of the rope unless you regularly set up top ropes. The only time I've had a rope coiled or flaked and wanted to grab the middle is when tying 3 people into 1 rope. I assume most people usually feed it through a fixed anchor or around a boulder which negates the need to mark the middles as you flake it as you pull it through. Is there another way? Have I been wasting time all these years?

Do you climb once a year? I used a marking pen (same thing?) to mark a belay device I dropped so I wouldn't use it and it rubbed off in my gear bag in a couple of months.
