Ha a little bit of PP (levels, curves, warming filter) in these photos, but no removing of stick clips.

see, a bit of PP here, a little more there...

sort of like the slippery slope of chipping holds....

pigsteak, Nope, not for me at least. I am a DIGITAL photographer - end-to-end. I even set my camera up with post processing in mind. I do remove stick clips and stuff like that sometimes as well, just not in these shots.

man, your shoots rock..chip all the footholds you need, edit all stickclips away..heck, can you space the bolts so it actually looks like we aren't wussy sport climbers?

i thought that was the point: to make them less slippery and more climbable..

damnit! why is the most beautiful rock often the most featureless.. and in order to have climbs you have to have some features (crimps or pockets or what have you).. but all i want to do is climb the beautiful rock (you solve the logic on that one

just a few substitutions and transitions)

mcrib, Yep, first three are of high hard one. And he did pretty well on convicted, no sendage, but looked really solid and close to me.
