About
Lowered Expectations is a V6- YDS boulder located in Ouray vicinity > Ridgway SP > One-Of-A-Kind Boulder. First ascent by Justin Putnam. Don't let the name fool you. Lowered Expectations is named for its proximity to the ground, not your experience! (However, the FA beta did end up being a little easier than I first estimated.) Sit start with your butt in the dirt on two small crimps, the left with a nice thumb catch, and make a big move to a sloping rail. From here, keep body tension to execute a big dyno to a jug. Protection: This is on the East face of the boulder.
