All right, I've got BaRILLiant new idea! REMOVABLE "InstaTick" TICK MARKS!

Removable InstaTick(tm) Tick Marks make your day at the crags as dab as a hardcore sesh at the rock wall. Made of heavy-duty, yet very ligh-weight vinyl, our InstaTicks are easily, and temporarily attached to outside rock walls with a gummy bit of plastic not unlike Silly Puddy.

The leader simply rappels the line, placing InstaTicks to show the way for others. Makes climbing safer, less stressful and more fun!

Available in
*Purist White
*Blue Route Blue
Go For It Green
*Way Rad Red
*XTreme Black

Each set contains 24 InstaTicks, enough for 12 feet of runout radness, and comes with a free InstaTick Tickmark Dispenser! Combine kits for longer routes. Just $24.99 a set!

(yes, I know dab was incorrect usage, but we are going for laughs here)

Sorry Happi, The Hubers beat you to the removable ticks about 10 years ago on El Nino. They used little white tape dots, which Houlding and Pickles then played connect the dots with on the 2nd shortly after.

If you used bright orange spray paint they would last longer and be easier to see.

Mighty Hiker said: They're totally dab for removing chalk, grit, and other things.

Uh, gramps, I mean, err Anders? Dab is when your foot tags the ground while you're doing the heinous sit start to some savage boulder problem, and those things are all tick marked to hell by the latest least generation anyways. It's not considered a compliment nor is it equivalent to "bitchen".

Perhaps the term you were grasping for is "boss" or maybe "the cat's meow".
