Late fall backcountry climbing at South Clear Creek in the Obed River Gorge. Morning fog veils the view of Lilly Bluffs, looking across Clear Creek. The Obed is immaculate and gorgeous wilderness.
Crag dog "Tipsy", met us at the trailhead and remained our constant companion and guide for the weekend.
The volume of high-quality routes on exquisite sandstone is overwhelming. Many of the moderates are 'over-graded', providing a welcome and pleasant contrast to the typically sandbagged Southeast.
