I think that's hopelessly optimistic, but I agree with your sentiments entirely. I was luckier in that a couple of weeks ago, all I found was discarded gear, but you have to wonder why people who are attracted to the outdoors can still do this kind of thing: it's not as if Caerfai is that much of a newbie punter's crag anyway, so whoever it was should have known what they were about.
Hope you still did Armorican, though - such a brilliant route.
