Findley Creek, British Columbia, Canada

Chip, Will and Myself were on a road trip in southern Alberta which made us end up at the put in for the lower Findley gorge. This is a classic South East BC class 4-5 run. It is choked with logs and goes through a very tight canyon.

The run was a even gradient gorge run with blind corners, horizon lines and plenty of lumber! Scouting was difficult because of frozen near vertical walls. Myself and Chip got caught in recirculation below a drop but were able to work our ways out

Bears were a problem at this run too. While at the take out a bear was spotted in the distance standing over a dead deer. This made for some scary hike up to the vehicle!
