Help a fellow out and explain to me the humor behind the french joke regarding "go climb something else", ala Jacques Chirac. Come on. Do it.
Oh and when climbing, top-rope hording sucks. Unless you're doing it for your gumbie friends! Really.
But what the hell are they top-roping it for if they both just climbed it? If they're working it for the red-point, they MUST let you climb it first. I would absolutely insist. Pack theft might come into play at this junction.
Yes, after careful consideration, they really should let you climb it. They just had their fun, and it's time to let others go. I believe this is rather common etiquette. No route hogging.
