Kaputar - Euglah Rock 26-Apr-2016 At 9:21:26 PM Vwills

Message

Despite best intentions, I didn't get back to Kaputar until this past weekend. In the meantime I had received an old fashioned letter from Robin Barley. I have added a lot of his new routes to thecrag.com., though I haven't quite finished Euglah yet. We did some of the routes there. The routes on the shady side with the large chiselled grades were mostly very good, and make a great option for hot days. Some of the routes especially close to where the track hits Euglah have sections of pretty crap rock, even for Kaputar. He has cleaned them pretty well, but as most of them have had minimal ascents, and have been there for a decade now, expect breakage, and helmets are a must.

Over the last 2 years Robin has moved on to the east face of Lindsay which is also a good shade option.
Whoever the mystery retro bolter is on the north face of Lindsey is, their activity appears to be unabated with ugly shiny bolts extending along the north side on most of the old routes now ie salad days to Night Moves.
