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.

Start as far back left on the bulge as you can with two slopey edges.  Throw up a heel and climb into Buns Machine Gun proper on the lower set of holds avoiding the large ledge system.  Instead of topping out after the large pocket stay low and continue right into the large triangle shaped pocket.  Move up staying off all the good edges used on Buns Machine Gun. Instead, use a 1-pad 2 finger edge or a rounded knob for the left hand and on up.  Top out on the arete.
