In a some time ago post an explanation was asked for this:

"Probably the strangest thing we saw on a recent trip was this big stone (the size of a barn) on the descent from the Sasso di Stria (Hexenstein) towards the Valporela pass:

I posted on Planet Mountain and got this reply today:

"Il masso di cui si parla fa "bella" mostra di sè lungo la dorsale del Sass de Strìa sovrastante,appunto,il Passo di Valparola.
A quanto so, pare sia opera di un "artista" (le virgolette non sono messe per caso!) che ha come specialità quella di dipingere appunto di blu rocce e macigni in giro per il mondo...
Ogni ulteriore commento è superfluo!!"

Brief translation: "As far as I know this is the work of a certain "artist" who specialises in painting rocks and bouders around the world blue. I think no further comment is required!"

In reply to Dom Whillans: I believe Moffatt was in Morrocco as was Denis Gray who wrote some articles on the climbing around Tafraoute

Surely chipping off the paint would be OK though?
