Well for a long sport route (say 30-40m/15 quickdraws) and also bringing some slings/carabiners for the top anchor, I could still squeeze in a chalk bag, but it would get more in the way of my gear than when I just have it on a strap around my waist. It's also nice when I'm not on the wall to just pull it around to my hip so I don't sit on it by accident.

To be clear: I have no problem with how you carry your chalk bag, you do whatever you like. I just meant to say that I've never seen an experienced climber attach it to their harness before, and where I'm from it's often seen as an indicator that someone has little experience carrying gear in their harness. If that differs from where you're from I'm only happy to learn :)

I hang it off the back on my harness and I’ve never been asked about my skill level because of it.
