Depending on the length of the climb, it's a perfectly legitimate reason. If it were you and I on a 20-meter climb with a 70-meter rope I might say exactly the same thing. I mean come on, 50 meters of rope on the ground doesn't equal a closed system?
There's only one habit worth developing: evaluate every situation and choose your practices accordingly.
