Disappointment Valley boulders, looking for beta

Hey all! I am finding myself doing fieldwork right between Dove Creek and Naturita for all of April (random place, I know...), and am looking for any additional beta I can find for the Disappointment Valley boulders! Fully planning to explore around and figure things out in person, but if you've spent any time out there and have recommendations on areas to explore (especially for problems <V7ish that will be safe enough to play on with single pad/no spotter), I'd love to hear it! Cheers!

Christian Prellwitz's 2006 guidebook appears to cover West End boulders. I'm not sure if his more recent Telluride book does as well or if it's just Telluride. You could try reaching out to him.

I'll see if I can find his contact info, thanks! His new book unfortunately is just Telluride.

I have an old Charlie Fowler guide for the paradox valley if you are interested in me scanning some pages out of that for you. I know it’s not the disappointment valley, I believe it has boulders and routes.

also, hi! We met in Indian Creek a year ago or so.

Heyya Cory, I remember you! I would actually be psyched to see those guidebook pages. I'd love to do a bit of exploring in the paradox valley, last time I was out there was 10 years ago and I was not really a climber yet! I'll be in the creek a lil bit too as days off allow, maybe I'll catch ya again this season.
