Kaputar - Euglah Rock 27-Apr-2013 At 10:27:12 PM vwills

Just an update:

I have had some correspondence via a friend of Robin Barleys with about 40 new routes that he has done at Kaputar over the past years with a mixture of other climbers . I will put them on line via ACA/ thecrag when the weather turns bad, and I get time, and provide a link. He tried to send them to ROCK, but they of course dont publish new routes anymore.

Robin does NOT retrobolt and seems to have respected gear placements where they exist in his routes and has done trad, sport and mixed routes. He is responsible for the 2 sports routes on the left side of the Governor which is the only controversial bolting I can see at first glance. I dont know about the chiselled grades on the south side of Euglah, it certainly wasnt used on any routes I have done of his on the north side of Euglah. He isnt responsible for any of the retrobolted routes at Lindsey or added bolts eg Sago Entree.

There has been some interest in a spring offensive for de-bolting the Lindsey Rocks area if anyone wants to join in....
