A dear friend of mine is getting married in Field, BC the first weekend in October. I am planning to go and would like to make a vacation out of it since I'll be flying all the way from the east coast. So, I'm wondering what the climbing is like in the area that time of year? Too cold, but too early for ice season? My preference is for multipitch trad routes, 5.8 and under, but would consider other options in the same grade range. What areas should I be looking at? Are there guide services in the area? I'm planning to rent a car. Any suggestions are appreciated.
