When you were winching the others up you could have positioned yourself further toward the crest of the hill which would have lessened or eliminated the rope rubbing on the rock.
Otherwise you can purchase rope protector like this

Or use an old jumper or tarp to protect the rope.
If you were using a rope you would naturally accomadate for these things.
The safety of the rope far outweighs any disadvantage.
Here's a vid of another recovery on the same part of the same track with little or no rope rubbing on rocks.

All I'm saying is you would approach things differently with differant equipment......and don't be put off buying a rope.
