The op stated he/she could have gone off to the side of the route instead of on the belay ledge.

Is this how people rated routes before MP?

Yes but given the possible tether limitations, anchor setup, experience level of the person, it may have been a limited option scenario.  Imagine the leader has you on belay, way up.out of.sight and can't hear you. And the moment is a crisis and you cannot get any more slack.

Too bad, then clean it up! No excuses!

So which belay ledge?

I'm just trying to be empathetic here.  Devil's advocacy.    Do you mean the giant house size perfectly safe ledge above the finger of fate (in which case, shame on them because all of my theories about being stuck/tethered would not apply;  plenty of freedom to walk around).    If you mean below the finger of fate, that could have been tricky.

I climbed MG Wednesday and we unfortunately ran into this too. It was the ledge just below and right of the finger of fate. My partner actually set up a hanging belay under and left of the finger that avoided it

I swear, somewhere in here, there's an analogy to be made about complaining about a giant stinking pile of poop ruining an otherwise nice experience on a MP forum.

Well that's shitty

I think if you posted a picture maybe we could make a more informed decision about how desperate this situation may have been. I mean.. How solid was it? Was is diarrhea? What color? these are all clues to deciphering just how desperate this poop was--and thus how much time the offending pooper may have had to choose where to poop/relocate to a better position.

Someone needs to get their shit together on shitting.
