Sika (flex) is the gray plastic caulk you see filling the gap between a building and a sidewalk. Some idiot is applying it to a rock here, without success either.

It's impossible to tell based on the subject, but the lighting may have been dim requiring slow shutter speeds and results in fuzzy details. You could try either using a tripod, or a flash, or just come back when the lighting is better.

Elf jism. I've heard the stories, but never believed they were true until I saw your photographic evidence.

You're all wrong! Didn't you notice these are NASA shots? They are the long-hidden PROOF that the government knows that ALIENS are on MARS!!!!
Seriously though, horrible to see this - glue and climbing should be limited to gluing plastic holds on to your basement wall.

If you zoom on the 2nd picture you can see branches in the lower left and a bolt hanger a little more than halfway up in the center. You are looking at about 20' of a route with Sikaflex on almost every hold. There's many layers of whats wrong here, but the careless I-don't-give-a-fuck choice of sikaflex (light gray rubbery stuff) is to me the most telling that guy is a total douche. Today when you are out and about, look down at where the sidewalk meets a commercial building foundation. Good chance you will see a 1" wide bead of the stuff, then imagine seeing it slapped all over a rock. Appalling, and I'm not even close to a rock purist.

So, why would someone go through the trouble to do this? The only thing I can imagine is to keep climbers off... Where is this?

No offense intended on the "no perspective" comment. I was having a bad day.
