So I had an experience the other day and I am just curious to see how other SP members would have responded.
I was at a local crag that I frequent about once a week. This crag is right near a highway and road noise is a problem with communicating with the top of the crag. Hence it has become the practice to leave some gear, a pack or whatever, at the base of the climb you are going to drop a rope on (this is mainly a TR crag). I get there (no one else is at the crag yet) set up my anchor yell rope! even though I know no one can hear me and then drop my rope. Well once I get down there are two guys (never seen them before and they are clearly new to the crag) are at the bottom of the climb and start giving me attitude for dropping a rope on them. I explain to them that you cannot hear what is going on up top and that it is crag etiquette to leave something at the bottom of the route you are setting up. They basically tell me to go $%^ myself. I decided to let it go and walked away.
Do you think I:
A. Handled the situation right
B. Was wrong to begin with
C. Should have given them a piece of my mind/punched the guy in the face
D. Other
