What's the best way to handle graffiti on rock. Juan? Have you got that Stoney Point situation under control yet? Like at Mugu Rock where they just paint over the graffiti, it makes the rock slick and worse off than before.

I posted this here before but never mentioned the location.
It's called Wikiup, in the Angeles National Forest.
In the mid 70's it was a beautiful place to swim, cliff dive and hang out with friends. It was quiet, clean and secluded.
This picture was taken a few years ago and I doubt I'll ever return.
I'm glad I got to be there when it existed. Too bad my kids will never get to experience it.

Hi JEM,
Since I started taking Zoloft I really do not think much about the Graffiti at Stoney Point. It is only bad up top at Stoney. I had the local OSH hardware store match the sandstone color. I have this mixing code I give them when I need paint. Most of the Graffiti is not on boulder problems. I buy gallon cans at $20 dollars. I must have spent 200 dollars on paint.
I think the rock at Magu is slicker to begin with. Be careful bouldering it. I know more then one person that has destroyed their ankles on the landing.
What might work at Pt. Magu is a sand blaster. I think the rock is to hard to be damaged?

I believe graffiti is removed with a torch - paint burns.

The best way to handle graffiti?
I think that the best way to have clean rock is to use a pro-active approach. When the punk begins to shake that little ball in the spray can give him two in the chest and one in the head.
And watch your backstop lest you become part of the problem!

don't be surprised if'n the lead
comes your way instead,
you might catch one in the chest
and two in the head.
not from poor choice of
backstop either.

"matisse" who posts here on occasion has some experience with a graffiti removing agent that worked quite well at Mt. Woodson. Maybe she'll chime in.

Don't ask Juan for advice about graffiti for god's sake.
Painting over graffiti is downright stupid.
Anders gave a link to a thread about this subject that has everything I wrote about doing it right.
Soon as the weather gets warm I am consulting with the city government here to remove a lot of graffiti PROPERLY from our local boulder field.
The city Forester and I have worked on this problem for years now. There are many bad ways that everyone wants to use because they seem easy.
We hope to make a documentary of the process so people can see how to do it right.
Meanwhile, read the good parts in that link anders (Mighty Hiker) gave.

get those kids to do their work someplace else... how 'bout some community programs... get permission for them to express themselves positively, someplace else... like on blank walls that are boring... i don't support tagging, especially when it's gang related... but i do love street art... some of those kids are seriously talented.

p.s. watch your back if you're in someone else's hood removing graffitti - don't get yourself shot.
