Is this the same jerk who was ticking his solos on the First Flatiron this summer?

Sharpie quote on Dinosaur Mountain in the Flatirons.

I would love to know what goes through someone's head that makes them think this is even remotely okay.

As one who used to patrol an urban area, let me say that once a little bit of graffiti appears, other asshats seem to think its okay to add their own tags. Scrub that stuff off quick, or it will multiply.

What's the location of this graffiti?

Anyone remember the initials of the group of 4 dumb college kids who got caught by some fine internet sleuthing? I'm not referring to "MSL" - he's a different douche.

Those initials a coincidence ? Me thinks not.

It's an amazing coincidence, as the tweet is from yesterday, but the Sharpie quote is from Sept. The quote is much older, and the general idea is older than time. To attribute it to, "KB" is sort of laughable, though.

Where is this? I still have some taginator left over from MSL courtesy of Mathias and would be happy to go scrub it off before anybody else decides to add to it.

Since you are no doubt dealing with multiple asshats, just erase these as you see them pop up. We'll do the same down in the Springs.

It is on top of Red Devil up near Mallory Cave. What is the best way to erase sharpie from rock?

I think acetone and a wire brush would do the trick.

"Dirty Mike and the boyz." I believe he publicly apologized for his actions and may have cleaned up his crap.

I don't think the other asshat tagging up the 2nd Flatiron is even remotely sorry for his "ticks."

No way. Elephant Snot is the way to go. Put it on, brush it in with a soft brush, let it set 15 minutes. Use high pressure water and scrubbing to get it off.

Really just a squirt bottle of acetone will solvate it.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
