I don't like attaching anything other than my lanyard(s) (especially 
something that weighs 20-25 lbs.) to my climbing belt.  Makes me feel 
safer.  Not that it matters for home use, but I bet there's some OSHA 
reg prohibiting it.

If it's any consolation, I do have a beener attached to nylon loop at 
the top of my backpack, which I snapped to a tower rung before 
removing it from my back.
