Description Suggest change

There is real granite in Chicago! It comes in the compact size of a lowball boulder. So for the difficulty of each problem to be true, you have to follow the "contrived" rules for each line. It's so small that otherwise you can turn everything into a v1-2. Also, you'd be missing out in some really fun movement! So bare with the rules to each line. All they are is maybe omit using one side of the boulder, or only use a hold to start on. Otherwise, when you can't get away from the city, here is a real boulder to play on!

Getting There Suggest change

It's the obvious boulder in the middle of the small park.
