I'd be surprised if it was climbers.

Isn't the irony, that it's the local youth copying the fine example set by ourselves?

To that end, the cock-n-balls is entirely appropriate!

I find this sort of thing far less offensive than the self indulgent visual litter that we ought to know better not to leave.

Hope it works out for Nick & Holls. Sounds far more promising than "RIP Maddy's condom" would suggest, which is nicely preserved in permanent marker on the bars in my local park  ;)

I sent them a message on Instagram suggesting why it might not be a good idea to do/post stuff like that. I don't think they took it very seriously.

Reply was: "Luv u 2"

Small is Beautiful at Burbage was a state the other day. Caked all the way up and topped with massive donkey lines. Photo doesn't really do it justice:

Next level moronic happenings at my local bouldering area:

and presumably in case you can't find the way down:

Fortunately the spray paint doesn't seem too permanent - looks as though it'll come off with some brushing with water and detergent but still...

Glad you took the photo's Steve, worth saying these dots are spread across all the boulders in this sector.

Not really sure, initial guess is that they were sprayed on to show a large group of kids or similar where to try and climb up and where to get down.  Definitely 'climbing' related anyway.

Not a donkey line, but a line of donkeys. And then they pretend to be surprised when bouldering areas are closing due to access issues. If it was my lawn, I would just call the police.

Need a bit of context for that one. It's the wagon thingy, but what are the restrictions on pad parties / send train bellends?

Shawn Raboutou posted  this is November last year:

"I want to mention that there are access issues. You can not try this game from April through October due to the land owner wanting to conserve the grass for his animals. Please be respectful and discreet because it's private land."

It's on private land. The owner want to use the grass below the boulder for grazing in the summer. It's used to park farm equipment.

If that is the idea of being discreet and respectful...

On his solo of Fitz Roy, Jim Reynolds "dabbed chalk on key holds in the hope of spotting them on the way down and built cairns to aid route finding"

Ticked up to the eyeballs by all accounts. Absolute disgrace if you ask me, and surely the most egregious happening in Patagonia since the Compressor Route was established.

Karma:

"The descent proved far slower, forcing Reynolds to downclimb wet, technical slabs in the dark by headlamp, where he discovered that his tickmarks had been washed away."

Don't you just love it when your semi secret traverse you've been trying has been splattered in rookie Stripes and all the footholds marked with fat chalk ball prints. Not so secret anymore I guess.

That’s disappointing to hear KC. Is it on limestone or something more porous like sand or gritstone? On limestone which I’ve recently started to enjoy, I find a soft brush works wonders for cleaning off chalk. Have you tried the Lapis ones? I find normal toothbrushes a bit inferior

Too obvious.

I’m not sure I get what you’re saying WFT? What’s too obvious?
