Perfect 60 is a bouldering area in Vermont's Green Mountain and Finger Lakes National Forests, within the Manchester Ranger District. The Forest Service manages the land, and the climbing sits right beside the Balance Rock and Right Vale areas, both about 0.1 mile away. The area has six bouldering routes, all rated from V0 to V5 on the V scale. The easiest is Over The Hill at V0, and the hardest is Rock of Ages Stand at V5. Midlife Crisis and Good Decisions are among the routes with first ascents by Samuel Hayden. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Peru, at a similar elevation, run to highs around 75°F in July with lows near 56°F. Winters are cold, with January highs around 27°F. Nearby, the Spruce Peak hike is about 1.4 miles away, and Bromley Shelter offers camping about 1.5 miles off.
