If there was ever a hold that didn't need a tickmark....!
Very sad but true, there was at least one donkey line at the climbing wall this evening!
the problem with then outside is the thickness of the chalk tends to bind to the rock leaving a mark whatever you do to try and remove it. I had to use water and a toothbrush to remove some off the easy little slab across from the Face of Busness. Big fat 1 inch fuckers as well, muppets
Yeah true, I take your point and aslong as you have some water with you there should be no resaon to leave anything behind.
objectively speaking, what is the difference between leaving a one inch tick mark behind and leaving a bunch of handholds covered in white chalk? I have never, ever, ever seen anyone washing handholds with water when they are leaving... but why? is a little tick so much more unsightly than a spreadout section of chalk on a hold?
