The crag we were climbing at is a well traveled sport area. The section we were at is only climbable when the water in the lake is down at least 40 feet and is a bit away from the rest of the crag. There are established routes in the area and they are in the guide book as such. With the area being so popular we just figured there would be anchors and didn't bother to take webbing. I actually took my webbing out of my pack because I figured "Hey, it's summersville, everything is bolted here. Why wouldn't there be anchors?"
Well the section we were at had no anchors.
