I'm not sure I explained it well, it was silly really, I meant make safe , pull up all spare rope as there was stacks of it and throw an end down. I think we just had different ideas about how to go about it. I still probably have not explained it well enough, next time I will just carry a lighter pack!

Interestingly the second of the two climbers in front of us was struggling and decided to pull himself up on the rope until he could get a hold/stance and then the belayer who probably was not aware of this took in the slack, yikes.
