Gunks Graffiti...
|
Someone has written, in silver marker, "Leave No Trace?" near the base of Minty and High E. There may be more messages, I just haven\'t found them. Using my best graphology, I would guess that it\'s a female. |
|
Wow people never cease to amaze me. |
|
I've seen about six of them, all the same, on rock and logs near the start of climbs. WTF? |
|
climbed minty yesterday and didn't notice that. |

Mankind will not rest until every square inch of earth looks like a subway terminal. |

Just saw the same graffiti (Leave No Trace?) on Roseland and Transcon in the Nears! Unreal! |
|
I don't know if it's been reported to the rangers...I will do that today. Is it marker? or as someone else suggested, liquid chalk? I didn't try to wipe it off. |

Retarded ass Yankees. |
|
looks like a paint pen or something similar |
|
I climbed High E yesterday and saw the "leave no trace". I initially assumed that it was just chalk but now that you mention it maybe it was a marker. |

graffiti in general: i found this article (removing graffiti from historic masonry, national park service brief ) to be a helpful resource. it overviews types of marking, types of solvents, and their reactions with certain types of rocks. its not a recipe book, so any particular case still requires experimenting, but it approaches the problem from the premise that the rock is a treasure and overpainting is not an option, which is exactly (or should be) a climbers perspective. |
|
This is outrageous, whoever did it should be ashamed. |
|
saw some today in the trapps right by the gill egg boulder problem |
|
Tar and feather the culprit if caught? |

Retarded ass Yankees. |

This doesn't really make any sense, it almost sounds as if there is still a little resentment about the south getting their ass kicked in the of War Northern Agression. What if the person doing this from lets say, the south. Then what? blame it on inbreeding i guess.The resentment is for the way of life that most northerners live. Full of [mostly]rude assholes living at break neck speed, gun grabbing lunatics, and silly dillys. Had this been in the south I would have said retarded ass rednecks. Quit being so bitchy, Mitchy. |

Not being "bitchy" man. Gun grabbing lunatics, living at break neck speed. Hmm, i don't see it, but that could be me. There are alot of assholes up here, but there are alot of asshole everywhere. I don't really feel like ragging on the south right now, i gotta go drop my morning duece. |
|
yep, assholes all over. it used to be the NE had too much going on(jobs,money to be made) for people to become drug addicted losers. things have changed for sure, its almost as bad as the deep south now. |

This is the stuff we have used in Adopt-A-Crag events here in CT. The spray on stuff melts right off with this and it's biodegradable. |

Thanks for the advice Morgan. |
