Description Suggest change

This is one of the proud, obvious boulders in the lineup of clustered rock you see when looking at the Highlands Area. This one is to the left, next to the Horizon Boulder.

The Asteroid boulder looks as if an asteroid landed on top of it. The small block on top of the Asteroid Boulder perches precariously on top.

The boulder problems aren't that great, but they do afford a few photo ops. I wouldn't recommend any of the problems here unless you have done the rest... Unless of course you want a photo of yourself dangling off of the edge of the asteroid...
