The date for this trip has changed - rather than the 8th of September, it will now go on the 20th of September.  (The organizer will be doing some Utah canyons on the original date!)

The plan is to do a couple of short, 1/2 day canyons in the Mission area, totalling one very full day, with travel time.

The two following canyons will be descended:

Lost Creek (above):  http://www.canyoneeringnorthwest.com/LostCreek_Canada.html

Norrish Creek:  http://www.canyoneeringnorthwest.com/NorrishCreek.html

Skills required:  You must know how to rappel, and be comfortable in water.

Equipment required:  A wetsuit (if the weather is quite hot, a shorty suit should be adequate, but a moderate (3 or 4mm) full wetsuit is preferable), climbing helmet, harness and rappel device, and non-leather shoes.  A small daypack is adequate (for carrying shorts & t-shirt) and perhaps a drybag if you have one (though the organizer will have extras.)  Bring a waterproof camera, if you've got one, and good protection for anything not waterproof (though, once again, the organizer will have some room for cellphones, keys, etc.) Waterproof snacks are also a good idea.
