So, you turn up at your desired cave/pothole and are preparing to rig the entrance pitch and you notice some is already down there with a rope on the pitch. What do you do?
With Climbing on sea cliff's if an abseil rope is already in place you can either drop your own, or knowing that you will be climbing up again us the one already there as you *should not* need it, and its generally accepted that other partys can use your rope if you leave it in-situ
But what if all the available bolts are used fro the belay and you would need a rope to get back out of the cave? if you used the rope but didnt see the other party and they pulled it before you were out that wouldnt be too good!
so whats the accepted practice?
