It's Friday. We should all shut the hell up and go climbing. We need research for this topic. :)

I got on an old favorite the other day and the tick marks completely took away from the experience. They seem to be everywhere lately. Fat short lines, thin long lines, bullseyes, circles, arrows with a paragraph description off to the side. Next there will be pictures of the approach,
the descent, the northwest corner the southwest corner and that's not to
mention the aerial photography.

Read a little closer. Not general coolness, but coolness and comfort with yourself and the way you approach your climbing. The general coolness factor is something only I can judge and it's also an assessment of many factors other than the way you climb. It's a huge responsibility I know, but someone has to do it.

Apples and oranges these two statements.

Man, the decades of schooling, on the job training, worldwide summits, black ops missions and geopolitical investigations into the history and evolution of coolness cannot be summed up with a simple equation. Just know that the right people are looking into it and making value judgements on how cool you and everyone you know are. I'd get into it more, but a public forum is not the place and even then I'd have to kill you.

Chalk is an argueable necessity. Tick marks are not.
Ticking is gym climbing outdoors.

If you have such a problem with tick marks, instead of bitching about it don't get on the route, or brush them while lowering. Then your problem will be solved and we won't have to listen to you whine about tickmarks anymore.
