Topping out vs lowering off (wimpy climber ethic?)	27-Aug-2004 At 12:18:50 PM	oweng

Since I started doing a few sports routes, ive noticed that nothing is more irritating than a sport route without a lower-off. Whats the point of making a sports route, if you have to lug your rack up the thing so you can set up an anchor at the top? (Unless the climbs are on a sea-cliff where you have to rap in from the top anyway...) I think trad climbs should not generally have lower-offs, unless the people have spoken by leaving a mass of unsightly fixed tatt to ab off and avoid a chossy last pitch etc. In this case a lower-off is a great idea!
