I found myself on a route recently where I was just following the tick marks, and after I came down i didn't feel all that good about myself. not only are they an eyesore if there's a lot of them, but they totally ruin the feeling of accomplishment because you figure out the sequence by yourself, with your own two eyes instead of relying on what someone else did earlier. I reckon rock-coloured chalk would be an easy way to solve this problem. thoughts/flames? |
