I wish I could share your confidence - but I can't. And I live on Portland, almost certainly less than two miles from the poo in question.
The Weston scrotes' modus operandi is chucking stuff off the crag (e.g. sofas), not poos. I don't think I've ever seen a poo on the west side. And I've been there thousands of times.
On the East side, the walkers/visitors are pretty well behaved. The scrotes don't go there - too far to walk. I've seen dozens of poos on the East side. Most of them have been near Cheyne Weares car park, which (pre-Covid) was infested with climbers' vans. Some have been in the Bower (almost certainly climbers). If this one was in the boulder field, it was almost certainly climbers.
A lot of climbers on Portland have minimal exposure to climbing history/culture/ethics. Many have come straight off London climbing walls. Most are well behaved. Some aren't.
I've always been as discreet as I can be about pooing outside. It sounds as though the person in question was exhibiting display behaviour. I'd guess late teens, early twenties, macho male. And a 'climber' of sorts. Whether they go on UKC, I wouldn't like to hazard a guess. But they might, so surely Emmie's post was worth it. Also it may influence others to think twice before they drop their pants and do another poo on Portland.
