Green Lake Boulders

So we followed up on the Green Lake Boulder post and checked these boulders out 2 weeks ago. After some cleaning and routine preparation, some really good boulder problems have been unearthed. So far, there are 12 problems on the two main boulders. If you're in the area, they are definately worth the 5 min hike from the Cane Mtn. trailhead parking. The smaller boulder has 8 problems ranging from V0-V5, while the larger boulder boasts some climbs a bit more difficult. All of the established lines seem to climb really well considering both boulders have overhanging sides with holds (what more could you ask for?)...The video shows (in order shown) a stellar V6 called "Live Free or Die", consensus puts this as one of the best V6's in the Aridondack Park; "Evil Empire" which is a nice V7/8 boulder problem up a dihedral feature that climbs really well, and a V3 traverse on the same boulder.
