If the land owner didn't like the idea of people climbing there in general he could just be saying that people have done this. I have never been so I don't know the layout but it is it likely that people were going to the top do put a top rope down some of the routes?
You mean like the owners must have made up that some boulderers were shitting, swearing and leaving litter at Eagle Tor (which was effectively their back garden where their kids played), as we are all too angelic to be involved in stuff like that and risk a ban (which of course happened)?
I remember seeing used bog paper littering eagle tor before it was banned. Not as bad as your average Spanish crag tho.
Boulderers don't tend to sh*t by boulders for obvious reasons.
In a strange and pretty rank coincidence, someone took a shit under razor roof at Cratcliffe yesterday, not bothering to try and bury it or hide the reams of toilet paper they'd left behind. Probably not climbers, at least I'd hope not as it was right underneath where you'd fall, but still not exactly the greatest advert for public access...
I think we need to split this thread, with a new thread called "Dumps I have done at the crag."

I hadn't factored in the minor swell running though, and got a saltwater jet douche for my troubles, almost fell into the inlet in fright!
With enemas like that who needs friends?
