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?
