Some kind soul has recently given Central Rib Route I (S 4a) in  Wintour's Leap that special alpine feel, by going to the bathroom on the belay ledge at the top of P2. The variations of this route are some of the nicest limestone climbs in the country (when they haven't been soiled), attracting six stars between the three of them.

The belay station was passed, and P2 & 3 were linked together.

It's worth mentioning that this lovely present was left for us less than 50m above the woods, right next to an abseil stake. There were other options. Please respect the rock.

(Let the puns commence.)

So to continue the motion you avoided number 2?

Pitch 2? That's the crack pitch, isn't it? Never noticed a bathroom up there. There was a chap smoking a big cigar up there the other day though...

Bummer.

Passing a belay station sounds like a lot of effort.

Smoking does tend to relax the old sphincter, especially when combined with a good strong coffee...

I hope they never show their faeces around here.

Anus horriblis.

If you regularly need to crap within 30 mins of getting the urge to then seek medical advice.

I had a similar experience finding a turd on one of the belay ledges on Amphitheatre Buttress (VD) once. 

The most positive thing I can say about the experience is that it made my footwork and rope management much neater than useful as I was keen to avoid getting shit over everything.

"...going to the bathroom...". You're not American are you?

Some people have got to go when they've got to go! But yes, if it's a new thing worth getting it checked.

The thing I can't understand is the amount of turds left really close to the crag bases in Kalymnos. It's not like the island is deficient in toilets.

(This is a joke, i forgot my audience.)

That is somewhat self contradictory. Though people obviously shouldn't leave turds lying around near the crags.

It's a "new thing" that I had to get used to recently, fortunately having had it checked with no sinister reasons discovered as yet it appears to resolving itself, it really isnlt hard to slip a wagbag in your pocket each time you venture an uncomfortable distace from the nearest bog.

I recall I was at the foot of the Aiguille du Pouce, precariously balanced on the edge of the bergrshrund, kitting up along with lots of other parties there, all trying to be the first to kit up and get going.

Just as I was buckling my harness, I realised I had to go. I reckoned I had about 10 seconds warning. Dropped my harness, and my keks, and dumped into the bergschrund. There was no other option whatsoever.

At least it was now out of sight, but I'm sure, to many others, not out of mind.

They really should be buried. Or, in this context, interred.

"Leave no turd unstoned"  (Dr Spooner)

Was up at Loch Tollaidh crag a couple of weeks back and someone had left their calling card in the form of a turd at the start of the route,  “ Ewephoria” .

WTF!

Perhaps the perpetrator had misread the description of the crag as, “ Loch Tollie”?! ( Scottish joke!)

If it's a popular spot then you should 'leave all stones un-turned'. It's not a nice discovery.

More often a psychological problem than medical
