how long did it take the jock to finish the route?
30 seconds on a 40 footer?
no big.
if he stalls out on a 30 minute climb, thats when i start throwing rocks,
depends on who it is also.
it its a famous guy, then get out the camera,
if it's joe blow jokomo, start chuckin granite.

the same sh#t happens on the slopes, you pause on some single track and some as#@&%e from hollywood has to blast by you
probably the same guy.
this type of arrogant behaviouramus was very popular in the 70's,
if someone did that, we called them a Hamburger.
hammin it up, get it?
so the patter goes, "You Hambrger, get off my route!"
so everybody practice, 1..2..3...
"you Hamburger, ...."
ok then, problem solved.

Not a "dick" - I call this sort of behavior "leg humping". Just look the other way for a few seconds, then shake it off.

Stzzo,
When I said give them a break I was referring the possibility they didn't know someone was on the route as someone mentioned earlier. As far as the falling on you part I was kidding not trolling. I think there is a difference?

Just a little showboating.
I for one like to see it.
Plain old rock climbing gets to be same old same old, a little 'boating can liven things up.

If you are camped out on the only 5.7 at the crag or even if there are only 2 or 3 easy climbs at the crag and your rope happenes to be on one or more of them then why would you not let someone do a quick lap while you are wankin arround smoking dope and generally wasting time.. This happenes to me a lot @ my local crag. There are only 2 quality routs that are my afternoon workout and one of them often has a top rope hanging on it. It is 5.7 and I am 200% solid on it otherwise I would not be soloing it at my ripe age. I like to get about 3 laps on both climbs a 5.6 and a 5.7 and then go back to work or what ever. This has nothing to do with showing off. I would be climbing them if you were there or not. INMOP it is a dick move to hang a top rope all day and hogg routs.
Just giveing you the other side of the equasion.

"INMOP it is a dick move to hang a top rope all day and hogg routs."
That's fine & dandy, except for the fact that that's not what happened with the OP. Jess sayin'.

"Also, I had the thought..."If this guy falls right at my feet, the responsibility will be on me to treat him or find someone who can"...which I wasn't too excited about"
To be honest, I feel really uncomfortable when I see some old lady checking her pulse in the ski area locker room after a day of skiing. I'm thinking the same thing about responsibility to help when she keels over.
It's part of life. Don't go near any people, ever, if you don't want to have to help them when they start to die right there at your feet.

If you happen to live somewhere where there are tons of moderate routs then soling on busy one may be a dick move but if your location is limited to just a few routs them we all have to share. Some like ropes and some dont.

After a quick consenus with a buddy.
Sounds like you are pissed becuase you got showed up.
Otherwise this would not be an issue.

Major dick move.
This guy is an ass. If you need to wait to ask about jumping in, then that itself is a "hey, look at me" move. As much as I would hate to see someone crater, I would love to see this tard get a permanent strain.

Anytime anyone solos past a roped party it's a dick move.
