My friends and I have tried to find the origin of the "Disappointment" moniker without much success.
What I can say now that I've been there is the "mountain" is pretty disappointing as such... barely visible from the lakes, no big cliff faces or knobs. Contrast this with the bluff above Rose Lake.

Met a ranger on the first portage and he confirmed that this is indeed wolf poop. 💩

We hand a long first day (7 portages!) to get to Lake Ima. Then had some wind, some rain, and some cold weather. It was a great trip!
