tick marks

Hey folks, a friendly reminder, if you are the sort who likes to put up tick marks, please scrub them off the rock before moving on to another problem or leaving the area.

thanks

But then how will i know where to put my hands and feet?
Seriously, though I thought the TMLF delt with tick marks years ago! god now I am going to have to take my brush out of retirement. The only thing worse then tick marks are tape wads, please dont tell me they are going to make a come back.

Sounds like membership in the TMLF is waning on the West Coast!

Seriously though, who really cares? Are we talking about chalked up holds in general being unsightly, or is it specifically only those directional tick marks that exceed the CNS/TMLF approved length of 3 inches? Personally, I find evidence of another climber's passing strangely comforting.

ps I should add that since the CAA (Crack Addicts Anonymous) was formed, addiction to crack is way down here on the east coast. It remains a problem, however, in Squamish, Utah, Yosemite.....lots of degenerates like Joi-squerts out there. Bohemians!!

boo hoo hoo- if you have a problem scrub 'em off and don't bother running your mouth about what a saint you are. who gives two shits about a line of chalk left on a boulder in the middle of nowhere.

I'd say if someone needs more than one or two tickmarks for hard to see holds they are either in over their head or climb mostly in the gym.

Aw, poor ben needs the tick marks / landing pads, as his sight is going bad from spending too much time up north on them drilling platforms loaded with other man. His free time is prob spent locked in the bathroom working on his grip strength!

:lol:

Locked in the bathroom???
Dood stop fantasizing about your work!

Guys on oil platforms get together for 'training sessions'. There's open forums to discuss technique and suggested eyelid movies as well as nutritional workshops aimed at increasing both volume and trajectory.

I had been thinking about heading up to Fort Mac to look for work in the oilsands but you know what, I think I just had a change of heart!

Hey guys,

While I enjoy thread drift just as much as anyone, I feel that as a MOD I should remind everyone to keep their posts PG rated. :mrgreen:

Sorry, I'm just trying to keep it from getting out of hand so we don't have to get after you. A little innuendo here and there won't likely get you much (negative)notice, but it was starting to seem like it was about to go down hill pretty quick.

Carry on. :mrgreen:
