elmo_lives 8-Nov-2004 1:30:51 PM	Really? Sweet! I chip holds too. Sometimes on a first accent, but mostly on classics. I love finding a classic line that is I little bit too hard to climb, chipping it to your level, and then blaming other people. It’s so much more satisfying. But not really, cause there aren’t any climbs that are too hard for me to climb, I just chip them anyway. What kind of chipping equipment do you use?
Bourge 8-Nov-2004 1:35:08 PM	Ha! Hullo! Ah Ha! Such Blasphemy! What le farque is going on! You wankers! You will rot in hell for this you sinners! May you chip and sweat without your t-shirts on all you like in the burning flames of the earth's furnace deep in the mantle. Those who seek solace in the anarchy of This Thread will be torn a newy on Judgement Day, I will see to it personally Ha! Regards Bourge that Bourge (not Porge) de Menteur The Council for Prevention of Vice and Protection of Virtue Now fark off and get back to work sinners! Sin ye no more Chippers Hang up your chalk and slippers Listen to the words of wisdom nippers, I keepem' rolling out like Warney's flippers
HEX 8-Nov-2004 1:47:41 PM	------------------------------ ' ...What's Not On There are commonly accepted climbing ethics that apply in Tasmania. The most obvious one that applies to bouldering is that manufacturing holds, or chipping, is simply not acceptable. Dirty chippers have marred areas such as Gnarly Spider and Rosny Rocks. That said, cleaning the rock in preparation for a first ascent with brushes is a necessary part of developing new areas. Sometimes there is a fine line between aggressive cleaning and chipping, especially in soft sandstone. But there is a simple distinction that should help clarify the issue: Cleaner = Good climbing citizen Chipper = f---wit If you don't understand this then piss off back to Europe, and take your stinking pof with you ! ...' (Tasmanian Bouldering Dot Whateva ) ---------------------------
elmo_lives 8-Nov-2004 2:01:20 PM	The real challenge in chipping is to make the new hold look like an original rock feature. This requires skill and talent that I’m sure you wouldn’t understand, so I won’t waste my time trying to explain it. And the beauty of this is the fact that only I know about the ‘secret’ hold, because I don’t cover them in chalk. The amount of damage I’ve done in chipping is nothing compared to what some people do with a chalk bag. And as for this thing about cleaners being so amazingly perfect and innocent, these are the douche bags who scrub rock, machete tracks, inspect natural protection, place bolts to make them safe yet challenging and work hard doing something they want to do! They have no idea what climbing is all about. It’s about destruction, not creation. Haven’t they seen cliffhanger?
HEX 8-Nov-2004 2:13:56 PM	------------------------------ The great 1980s tradition of chipping in The Blueys was inspired by India(29), with it's associated comment : ' It wouldn't exist with-out aid ! ' ... This inspired Pakistan (25) : ' It wouldn't exist with-out a chisel ! ' ...This then inspired a generation of F@#$ wits to chase the latest 'cool' trend... This then inspired a pommy-climbing-mag-article : '... The Blue Mountains --- lovely walls covered in manufactured holds ! ...' This inspired Cliff Care to turn the ' creative ' tide , before Australian climbing went completely down the international-reputation gurgler...................Thread ' 34 ' ... -----------------------------
