The goal of the area is primarily one of a community/public space not as a destination bouldering venue. During the trial period March 2014 it achieve this very well without a bouldering wall. The wall is simply a bonus and something a little different for the community.

I and many other locals I know are excited about having this wall in Brunswick. But if you aren't local then then I can understand a lack of interest.

(Unless that wall is made out of solid lead, it seems somebody overspecced the crane for that lift!)
