I don't get how this is a question that people need to ask.
I was always under the impression that this was a well accepted bit of crag ethic...
If you're top-roping a route, the rope (and draws) got on the anchors somehow, right? Either someone more experienced in the group led it up there, or someone rapped in from the top. If less experienced climbers in your group can't be trusted to thread the anchors, then someone who can (the person who got the rope up there in the first place) needs to.
The way I see it, you were being lazy and got called on it. |
