Better than chalk, shirley? You just peel the tape off after.

Is thet Cofe?

[Stubbs]

It would appear to be from the Horse Pens leg of the Triple Crown comp, I guess comp climbers can't read topos 

[cofe]

i certainly don't remember that. 

[Fiend]

Okay so the cave is not the most scenic location in the world or even the Peak but this sort of stuff, entirely unnecessary on the galaxy's biggest toehook, doesn't help.

I was only able to completely this monumentally challenging and innovative task due to a combined PHD in Rocket Science and Brain Surgery which gives me the necessary mental skills to know to brush the fucking tickmarks off.

[Duma]

That really is shitty, and wasn't there at 14:30 ish yesterday. Good job removing it Fiend

[Teaboy]

Not sure how offensive I find these things but here's another example

In fairness that hold is pretty hard to spot given that it is about head hight when stood at the bottom of the problem!!

gives me the necessary mental skills to know to brush the fucking tickmarks off.

and that's the point isn't it, if you really need a tick mark fine, but put it on softly and brush it off before you leave....
as fiend implies it ain't rocket science or brain surgery....

[Fiend]

Someone tell me this is uncannily accurate and white birdshit...

[Johnny Brown]

Yes its birdshit. Is this a new record for most copied and posted pic on the forum? Are you after a job as UKB's very own Mick Ryan?

Errrrr....one could also stick it in the Quality Bouldering Pics thread 

Are you after a job as UKB's very own Mick Ryan?

Oh dear god no 

Nice pic BTW, quite an entertaining scenario it shows.

Decided to try and haul my ass across Wrights Traverse in the Churnet this afternoon and found this little lot. Whatever next !

[GCW]

Either you're joking or this is climbing by numbers?  Makes good beta for the flash I guess!!!!

[Somebody's Fool]

What do R and L mean?

[andy_e]

Reft and Light?

[Nibile]

Rest, Lock off.

[Somebody's Fool]

Not Robert and Lindsay? Apparently he's very good in the new stage version of The Producers.  The perpetrator might be a fan.

[dave]

All that tickmarking and they got the sequence wrong. punters.

[Eddies]

Nice... someone actually carries a stick of chalk about marking up holds 
I wonder if they have R and L written on the backs of there hands aswell !?

Must be a maths teacher, its important to show your working out... right?

[rainbow]

All that tickmarking and they got the sequence wrong. punters.

Thats what I thought to. There was even a foot hold marked with a L as well. The bit after the glued flake was unmarked and its there when you're running out of juice you need to remeber the sequence.
