Dasha and I spent yesterday cleaning problems and climbing at the Disappointment Boulders at Ilium. This rarely climbed area is actually starting to clean up quite nicely and offering more climbs than originally thought. All of the problems are short and trend towards the easier side of the V-scale, but most of them are fairly fun, and there are a couple of harder problems that will be quite good once we finish cleaning them.
Pics: 1-Dasha cruising up the super fun 'Slavic Slab' V0. 2-Dasha pressing out the crux mantel of 'Short Circuit' V0+. 3-The improbable starting crimps of 'Pumpkin' V0-one hard pull leads to a very easy finish. 4-A bad left crimp and a shallow pocket for the right lead to jugs, a dynamic move for the lip, and a satisfying mantel- Christian begins 'Le Grand
Champignon' V0+.
