Missing tree-climbing sculpture found in different tree

A tree-climbing sculpture that vanished from a park in Dublin, Ohio, reappeared in the same park but in a different tree.

The fibreglass climbing man, one of four displayed in trees in Coffman Park since 2008, was found “sitting” on a lower branch of a small tree near the skate park.



The $9,000 sculpture, which city officials speculated might have been blown from its original perch by high winds, sustained only minor damage, which will be repaired before it is reinstalled.

The four climbers, together titled Exuvia, were created by Todd C. Smith, a tree-climbing enthusiast from LaGrange, Kentucky.
