Would love to believe this is not climbers, but given nobody else knows about the crag or ever goes there, and the fire was not accompanied by the usual litter or empty cans associated with local chav fires it's hard to rationalise that it could have been anyone else.
Been there before and had folk walk up from the stream. God knows where they came from. I suspect they came down the valley rather than up.

Ah I didn't find a path up just a vague path down. I guess logically the path could run the length of the valley.
FWIW I was there last night and didn't think climbers, as it was right below Sean's. If you were a climber wanting to climb by the light of a fire, you'd set it back from the crag further? Unless perhaps you were bivi-ing
We're saying it can't be climbers cos it's under a problem, like we've never seen turds under problems/routes.Anyway, the point is not about whether Lovejoy's responsible fire clean-up after is an issue (if a tree falls in a forest etc), or who had this particular fire at a venue 99.99% (99.99% of whom know better than lighting fires under classic problems at almost banned crags) frequented by climbers only, the point is addressing possible irresponsible behaviour and looking after the joint.
I doubt the special 00.01% of climbers who might theoretically do this would either read this or care what we said if they did.
