So would you rather people clean their tickmarks off routes at the end of the day or not?

not a fair question.....you front loaded it....of course most people want the tick marks removed, but now you need to decide how big and which ones. remember, chalked hand holds are cheating as much as tick marks if you are one of those who says "I want to figure it out on my own"....on well run routes at the Red, there truly is no on sighting.

Yawn.

exactly.

I don't really care. It's not like I'm out there doing some cutting edge 5.15-5.16 lines where it would really matter if I onsited or not. By the way........I noticed that the grade of 5.16 is almost here. Damn I suck.

Tick marks? In the Red? Right. Every damn pocket within 10 feet of a line of bolts is ticked.

Instead of bitching about it, do one of two things. Don't climb outside, or on your way down brush away the tick marks.

I think people already had this conversation.

So how about the option: I put up tickmarks on a regular basis, sometimes I clean them off, but most times I don't remember.
