Or this? |
|
no ice? Or is it one of those trick photos where its truly a close up of rocky road ice cream? |
|
first pic has a glue-on or glue enchanced hold |
|
Sika (flex) is the gray plastic caulk you see filling the gap between a building and a sidewalk. Some idiot is applying it to a rock here, without success either. |
|
Too many ticks to choose from? |
|
no one care? |

It's impossible to tell based on the subject, but the lighting may have been dim requiring slow shutter speeds and results in fuzzy details. You could try either using a tripod, or a flash, or just come back when the lighting is better. |

wow, thats a lot of glue, someone must be really bored. that's the ugliest glue job i've ever seen. |

Elf jism. |

Satellite photo? |

The first photo is a fossilized Hammerhead shark? |
|
You're all wrong! Didn't you notice these are NASA shots? |

This is glue, glue-in bolts are epoxy not glue... |

I'm amazed at the lack of outrage. Sikaflex for fuxsake! Its like this douche is on some kind of anti-rock rampage. |

Whats wrong with the picture? |

Theres no perspective so its really hard to tell what I'm looking at.If you zoom on the 2nd picture you can see branches in the lower left and a bolt hanger a little more than halfway up in the center. You are looking at about 20' of a route with Sikaflex on almost every hold. There's many layers of whats wrong here, but the careless I-don't-give-a-fuck choice of sikaflex (light gray rubbery stuff) is to me the most telling that guy is a total douche. Today when you are out and about, look down at where the sidewalk meets a commercial building foundation. Good chance you will see a 1" wide bead of the stuff, then imagine seeing it slapped all over a rock. Appalling, and I'm not even close to a rock purist. |

So, why would someone go through the trouble to do this? The only thing I can imagine is to keep climbers off... |

No offense intended on the "no perspective" comment. I was having a bad day. |
