Britannia Creek

This is a fantastic canyon with lots of rappel, lots of jumps and incredibly easy access (almost zero approach and zero return). The canyon is littered with old and new bolts. This allows most obstacles to be tackled in a number of ways depending on flow. The text of the descent section doesn't account for this, only describing the low flow routes, while also referencing features no longer present. Regardless, with a keen eye the options make themselves apparent. Whilst the new bolts are in great conditions, a number of the old bolts, hangers & quicklinks are showing signs of deterioration (likely zinc plated). Please consider bringing a small adjustable wrench and hacksaw to remove old rusted quicklinks. If replacing anything please use stainless steel.

To access the canyon drive to the Britannia Mine Museum on Highway 99, between Vancouver and Squamish. From the museum proceed up Copper Drive until you cross a bridge, this is your exit. Drop a vehicle at the parking lot adjacent the bridge (please read the note in the Red Tape section below) and proceed up the road with a second vehicle until the paved road ends. A small pull out on the left will fit two or three vehicles. Gearing up here is practical as it's only a short walk from here. Follow a use trail through the forest for 200m. This now leads down into the stream, below the old damn that used to be R1.

This Beta is in need of help. There are LOTS of bolts everywhere in the canyon and descent is straightforward without beta as almost everything has a bolt.
