Cheakamus River Highline

This was a beautiful highline. In lieu of wearing a "helmet cam" this was a baseball cap + duct tape cam.

  • Length: About 70 feet (~20 meters)
  • Height: About 50 feet (~15 meters)

    Beta: approach via highway 99. When heading north, look for the tantalus range lookout on your left, you will then pass the entrance to Cheakamus Canyon on your right. (Amazing sport climbing area) The highway will then enter the squamish river valley. There are metal bars to anchor from, and several bolts. Bring cams and nuts, however, the rock is fairly chossy.
