Wire brushing at Secret Garden
Wire brushing at Secret Garden
I was at secret garden yesterday and was disturbed to see that some holds had been wire brushed. What are the feelings on this practise? Is it acceptable?
Chipping/Cleaning
Hey StuartH, No surprise unfortunately as the guys up there also were marking IP on boudering problems by scoring into the rock!!!???? Ethics not strong point aroung there.
PS. The practice is not acceptable and ws probably the result of plastic pulling varieties who only recently decided to direct their efforts to rock. A shame really as the friction at the Secret Garden is akin to Gritstone and possibly the best venue in Gauteng and surrounding areas.

I'm a bit confused-was there any visible impact from the wire brushing on the grips? I'm not against using a toothbrush to clean off some chalk.
Hey Scotsman, just wondering if it could be the same people who went to Chosspile and decided to do favours for people who can't work out a basic R.D.?-Chalk and scratch marks at the base of the routes.
