From what I understand, its not a question of "removing it", but keeping 
it covered up. Apparently, the surface of the rock is damaged in someway
thats fairly permanent, and that can't be repaired. From what I remember,
one of the local climbing groups goes up there every year and actually
covers (paints) the CU with something in an effort to cover it up - every
year, the material they coat it with wears off, hence the CU starts
to become more apparent until they get around to covering it back up
again..

This is based on memory of similiar thread here a year or two ago  - I 
could be completely wrong on this. Does anyone else have the real scoop ?
