I dont care if its on a shit bit of rock, but this guy deserves a kick in the arse

found these pics on there font trip report

[dave]

KNOBHEAD.

[liam fyfe]

why would you? as said before KNOBHEAD!

[Tris]

Name and shame... 

[Paul B]

Is that carved in or chalked?

[neil h]

does it matter if its chalked or carved, looks carved to me,

it sets a president for people just to go round the planet tagging all the rocks cause it looks cool, espesially done by the mountainering club, half the people on the trip have never climbed outside so whats this saying to them

[liam fyfe]

does look carved. im from south wales but dont recognize the knob in the picture.

[Paul B]

Of course it does, one washes off the other is more permanent. I'm not advocating 'Tagging' in any way or running around drawing on boulders, however, if it washes off its less of a crime.

[liam fyfe]

where did you get the pics from? cant find it on there website.

[neil h]

found them on facebook

[Sloper]

Would that be their rather than there?

Just to save you from the cunts trying to be pedantic.

What a load of tossers.

[Paul B]

Before the lynching continues it might be wise to find out if its carved or just drawn on.

Also adding other pictures into a thread entitled "CUMC are CVNTS" or something similar seems a bit daft/misleading/jumping to conclusions.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think its on in any way shape or form, but in this case you're insinuating that they're carving rock. Its a big accusation to point at a climber without the full knowledge.

[tomtom]

I would guess CUMC is Cardiff UNIVERSITY Mountaineering Club (being a former member of the Leeds equivalent LUUMC)...

Indeedy - here they are: (image linked..)



Daft yoofs.. looks like its just chalk to me ?

the perpetrator seems to be paying too much attention the marking for it too be just chalk, looks like a carving to me. KNOBHEADS.

The green lichen on the edges of the lower half of the letters makes it look prety much scratched in, to my mince pies at least.

having said that there is a CUMC hoodie on full view in that pic which I previously missed.

Forgive my ignorance, or lack of understanding, but surely the lichen would take months to grow, rather than minutes?

To me it looks like chalk, but it's still a pretty stupid thing to do.

[liam fyfe]

either way its not really on. must be a bit sad to go to font and graffiti etc when there so much great bouldering to be done.

like I pointed out earlier; there is a SIGNIFICANT difference between the two 'crimes'.

[Eifeler]

Forgive my stalking skills. That rock looks a far cry from Font. Perhaps Oxwitch Bay.

[tomtom]

Yeah, I think its chalk. Having (ahem) carved names in things before as a foolish yoof (you know, TomTom 4 Tracey etc..) its really hard to carve corners - carved letters tend to end up as lots of straight lines - Those pics also look like it fades in and out across the strokes - which I'd have thought pretty hard to do if you were carving...

Still, you cant be the sharpest tool in the shed (sorry I couldnt resist) if you carve/chalk a recognisable club name/logo into something... certainly a candidate for the Tickmark hall of Twatdom... 

Good stalking Eifeler - Is the 'perp' is the bloke at the end of the vid - spikey hair and black jacket..?

[liam fyfe]

either way, you dont want graffiti all over the rock. but it doesnt look like font rock does it!?

[robertostallioni]

There's some pretty serious offences going on in the vid too. Notably that beret and the 1.18 pad dab.

reminds me of
