Description

Second boulder on the left past RtR. Vertical to slab starting at the left with high ball commitment on thin holds and sloppey topouts, leading to a great lay back problem on the far end.

Access issues inherited from Zed Dimension

From hawkesbury road turn into high school drive, left on endeavour drive, right on newton way, and a left or right onto Shakespear drive which is a loop. At the opposite end of the loop is a dirt road, park and walk.

Approach

Same as for RtR.

Ethic inherited from Zed Dimension

Much of the rock is marginal, so the need to clean is essential. Please try to maintain 'scent routes, but clean or "modify" new routes as required. The Sculture Garden has several chipped routes; with more to go in where boulders are otherwise unclimbable. Several boulders have horrible landings, so be wary.
