Heeley Sheaf Boulder
The second boulder at Heeley officially opened in December 2012 after a period of consultation involving potential users led by Al Williams who was also involved in the installation and carving of the boulder. This consultation led to the design being drastically different from the original boulder with an over hanging face with small to mid-size edges, some in-cut, some sloping. To complement the overhanging side and facilitate descents there are slabs for descending.

Layout
The boulder is a really two cuboids both sitting at an angle to give an over hanging side and a slab on each side, a crack between the two boulders and two ends. Because of the vast number of holds and options for eliminates this topo describes it in six sections. Left and Right refer to climbers view as they would be when facing the rock.
