Chipping??

Does anyone know if that wonderful foot hold on Doppler Effect is chipped. Its about 5/6 of the way up the vertical crack befor the roof section. It sure doesn't look natural and looks like there is drill grooves. I have just never heard of anyone chipping a crack, and would be sad if it was chipped. Just wondering.

Think about it Verbal. Why would you add a foot to the 5.7 crack portion of a 5.10 crack? You may use that foot but I doubt if it really makes it that much easier. If you were going to add holds(or footholds) to Doppler it would be coming out of that corner(the crux). I would bet the farm that it just looks chipped.

First time I saw it, I thought it might be a chipped, but after kinda looking at it again, and thinking about it, I don't think it is. At worst, it could be some kinda of funky pin scar from way back in the day.

Why would you chip a crack? If you can't climb it, you can always aid past it.

Thats probably what it is.A pin scar.I mean it would be the best placement for it,right?Right before you had to pull the roof?

I think that was drilled too, you can see the bit tracks. pin scars look different. The only reason I could come up with was that it was done to free a stuck cam. Anybody remember ever seeing a cam stuck in there?
