Terepocki Creek is made up of a couple of technical sections. This beta currently only covers the upper technical section. This is a short portion of the canyon, consisting of four rappels, of up to 24m in length. The gorge is very scenic, and there is quite a bit of water, with some nice swimming sections.

The Hype
Getting There
The access to the canyon will require a fairly lengthy drive on logging roads. It is generally well maintained, but conditions may vary. To reach the shuttle vehicle parking, a section of rougher road needs to be traveled. 2WD is sufficient, but moderately high clearance will be helpful.
From downtown Mission, drive eastbound on Highway 7 for 8 km, to Sylvester Road. Turn northbound (big gas station on the corner is a great spot to stock up on last minute supplies.) Drive 25.3 km, first along pavement, then a well graded logging road. Turn left here to access the lower shuttle parking. Follow the road for 3.3 km, to a landing on the right. Park a vehicle here. Return the 3.3 km the main road, then turn left, continuing northward. After another 4.3 km, there is a spur to the left. The road is fairly rough, and heavily overgrown – if you want to save your paint, or have concerns about your vehicle’s undercarriage, park here. If you are fearless, drive down the spur for another 450m to a large, open landing. Park at (or walk to) the far end.The Canyon - Rating: 3C II Longest Rap: 80' # of Raps: 4
Skills required: Rappelling, swimming
Rappels: 4 rappels, up to 80'
Exposure Risk: None
Water: Lots! Swimming, up to 100 feet. High flow rates can make this canyon dangerous. There is one punch bowl, with potential hydraulics, that can be largely bypassed.
Anchor Conditions: Natural anchors, webbing on trees and logs. One difficult-to-construct anchor (possibly knot chock) for a 20’ rappel.
Gear Recommendations: Raps to 80’. You will require wetsuit, helmet, harness, rappel gear, ascending gear, webbing, rapides, dry bag/keg.
Flash Flood | High Flow Danger: No flash flooding. In moderate to high flow, the canyon may be hazardous.The Exit
From the bottom of the fourth rappel, swim across the pool, and walk and boulder hop for another hour or so downstream. In the vicinity of the GPS point specified for the exit (N49.37409 W122.24803), look for a trail to the left, leading uphill toward the road. Follow the road, left, to the landing with the shuttle vehicle.
Otherwise, continue down the stream for the lower technical section. You can find details for it here: http://www.canyoneeringnorthwest.com/TerapockiCreek/Terapocki.phpRed Tape
The canyon is located on Crown land – there are no known access issues.
