I’m mainly a boulderer and have only done limited sport climbing outdoors. This year, I’m thinking about setting myself some targets based around sport climbing. This has me wondering about ethics and tactics…
If I arrive at a route, stick the draws in and work the route all day, with rest periods, how does that sit with other climbers who may also want to get on the route?
Do you let other parties have a go while you rest? How do you balance working towards an ultimate red point attempt and not being an inconsiderate annoyance to others?
