There are at least three parties bolting routes at Euglah. The arete left of Clampdown was bolted before Barley first visited the place in 2006. Ironically this was the climb that prompted him into his Euglah new routing frenzy. As Vanessa commented the routes are v good additions to a v good crag.Edge of Ecstasy (bolted by Barley, climbed by Fantini) and some of the mixed trad/bolt routes are as good as anything in the state. The man has an incredible legacy of (mainly bold) world class routes that started in the 60's in Yorkshire, 70's in S Africa and 80's onwards at Squamish and Skaha. I haven't seen The Governor bolting but I did tell him when I last saw him in 2010 that clip ups there wouldn't be tolerated by the climbing community in general. Whether he bolted the routes I don't know. But he has got form re a bolted route at Girraween. But that was chopped v promptly by a local activist.
