Etiquette is shot these days - saw a bunch of random behavior at Squish this weekend.
Party was setting up to rap into High Mountain Woody while I was topping out on the route, and by the time I got to the anchor it was clogged with their gear. They couldn't walk around or wait ten minutes. Then they rapped down on top of a party getting ready to lead Paul's Crack.
Saw a guide climb up someone's ass at the belay station on Exasperator while the leader was moving out towards his first piece and then she ran the rope through the rings, lowered off and TR'd her two clients on the fixed gear.
Saw a random rope abandoned altogether at Neat and Cool on Tuesday morning - someone said the guys that set it up took off and hadn't come back in like an hour.
Yeah, you have to expect crowds at a place like the Smoke Bluffs on a holiday weekend, but I think a little friendly communication could help. Seems like its getting worse. That said, I didn't speak up when I had the chance at HMW, b/c I figured I'd just suck it up and deal without making an issue of it, so I guess I shouldn't complain.
