Did you wash it off? Or did you just come here to whine about it?

Like yes, Jack, I hiked 5 miles to the CVS in Big Bear, bought a sponge, some soap, carted a few gallons of water 20 feet up the crag, washed off some dickwads 3 feet high initials, and still had about 10 minutes of daylight left to climb. Or I could just say "go fuck yourself Jack, I was just making a valid point about people defacing a beautiful place."
Sorry you got your panties in a bunch. I don't candy coat my words and I call it like I see it. I agree that 'dickwads defacing a beautiful place' sucks. Instead of posting your rant, you could have just as easily done something about it. You could have use some of your water, got water from other climbers and hiked up to the initials and washed them off. Wouldn't have taken more than 5 or 10 minutes. That's what I would have done.
BTW, do we know each other? You seem to know me.

If that's the way you feel, then feel free not to return. It's not like anyone is going to miss your posts, which boil down to whining about how climbing has become mass entertainment.

As opposed to 15k posts half of which are you simply being a dick?

*walks past room, looks in, pretends he didnīt see anything, keeps on walking*/
*sighs, walks back*/
Chalk washes off pretty easily, providing it hasnīt had years to set in. donīt worry yourself too much.
Play nice, people. thank you.

The usual not playing nice was my whole point - when your principle value proposition is calling people idiots, it's hard to avoid looking like one.

Sometimes the persistent dick thing has a point that takes repeating to get through. Hell, Ive seen someone within their first five posts answer that they probably need to go read Self Coached Climber. Give credit to JT for that.
Sometimes the spelling catches are funny sometimes not.

Rarely. And yet, for some reason, the safety is always off.

Hello,
I'm climbing for a while at Holcomb Valley Pinnacles, but seem to have run out of chaulk faster than I thought I would - used it up too quick I guess. Can anyone point me to some local climbing store that sells the 1 kilo boxes of chaulk?
Also, could some kind soul give me directions to get to the other walls from Coyote crag?
Thanks bushels in advance.
