'How long is long enough?'

- per person on an outdoor pitch -

One thing that really annoys me is when climbers choose a pitch and may remain there all . . . day . . . long!

For example, a couple of weeks ago we went climbing and he was dead set on conquering a specific route, when we arrived it was pretty busy, it was a sunny Saturday morning (which is rare!), there was a group of around 4 who were already set up and mid climb on the route we were after. Fair enough they got their first. We therefore decided to climb a nearby route to ensure we had first dibs on the climb once they moved on . . .

. . . 4 hours later and they were still set on that same route, and were not budging.

So I ask the question how long do you think is long enough (per person) before its time to move on and give someone else a go? Either leave a comment or vote in the poll on the right - @climberjames
