Description Suggest change

In April 2023 a large part of the bulge collapsed underneath and eliminated Buns Machine Gun, Buns Machine Gun Full Value and Grady Low.  The bulge also shows flexing when climbing and new fractures from he recent event showing the instability of this specific rock.  Climbing would not be recommended at this time as these pieces are a couple hundred pounds at a minimum and lead to serious injury or death if you were under one when it decides to fall.

Sit start on the right side of the bulge about 15’ left of the diving board/mantle problem. There is a fist sized crack about 3’ in length below chest level that serves as the start. Eliminate the large diagonal crack near the start and everything above the obvious ledge system traversing it across to the left and topping it out when it peters out.

Climb is named after the greatest crag dog ever who frequented Oak Park.
