Perry Creek - sport n trad crag | 5.7 - 5.9

Day three of our trip saw us rained out. Day four, the forecast seemed promising for a solid 20 - 24 hours ish of dry weather so planned for an alpine day.  Well the forecast was wrong, again. We were up early and at the trail head early but wet weather and low cloud drove us back to the low valley. After some fresh coffee we regrouped and took advantage of my new rock guide for the East Kootenays and we headed to Perry Creek crag. Not the alpine experience we wanted, but an awesome crag!

Our parking area (a little further than needed)

Looking up Right Hand Slab, bolted 5.9

Base of "Split the Trees" burly 5.9, bolted.

Fun 5.7 trad route.

We each lead about 12 routes, mostly bolted 5.9 routes, but I lead a real cool trad 5.7 route.  Perry Creek has a lot of routes from 5.6 to about 5.13, definitely worth a visit.
