Description

Boulder in the middle of the sector with Australia Day on the left side and RtR on the right with A Wash With Blood on the back uphill side. Great variety with confidence inspiring landings!

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.

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.

Set: liam corr, 25 May 2014

First Ascent; goes to Geoff Johnston-Hall. First line on left side of Australia day cave. Starts on matched 45 degree rail, high right foot, sick crimp in center of wall, twist into start of top scoop. Moves right over Australia day. Scary top out through committing scoop is still an open project.

Awkward start with weird feet to cut loose dead point. Original bails right, harder variant unsent to the left.

From the big undercling make a big move to a good incut rail.

FFA: Ben JengA

Start at the jug in the roof where the solid rock starts. Move through scoops via toe hooks and kneebars to the finish of Monkey Magic.

FA: David Fidler, 2015

Do the start of RTR to the big ironstone ledge then mantle and up.

FFA: Ben JengA

Sit starts on matched jug, big pull to start normal variant of RTR.

Starts on RTREP sit hold and ends on IP. Sweet line.

Rail on right side of third boulder. Starts low on right side and climbs left on rail to slopey top out.

Start on rails at beginning of RtR, to the left of moss ramp. Crimp to right sloper, left to high sidepull, then up and over on friction shelves...suck up the pain...its good!

Stand start left of A Wash With Blood. A move or two up arete and onto mossy slab.

Awesome line to the right of Ride the Rail. Climbs the uphill side of the RtR boulder just after the backside walk off. Side pulling pain, mixed with awkward foot placements, and a committing final move onto a sloper topout make this a monster classic distilling the best the Zed has to offer. I banged my knee on the first knee and sprung a gusher...which gave rise to the name!
