Trip Description

Leave Friday dinner time and sleep at the car at the Chilliwack Lake road gated access to Slesse Creek.

Up and down Slesse on Saturday. It's a long day without much chance for rest -- we keep moving at a steady pace. You must be fit and comfortable scrambling Class 3/4 rock both up and down climbing. We will leave the car around 05:00 and expect to be back around 6pm.

  • YOU MUST HAVE A BIKE WITH FAT TIRES TO RIDE ON LOGGING ROADS AS THE GATE WILL BE LOCKED (approx 8 km riding each way -- maybe more).
  • Bring enough water for a hard hike in hot weather -- there probably won't be any water along the way.
  • Mandatory equipment: helmet, harness, rappel gear for an 8mm single rope, prussik cord. Hiking pole(s) recommended). I will bring the rope and webbing for rappelling.
  • Keep in mind that the Slesse trail is one of the hardest, steepest trail to do in the lower mainland.
