Description

Northeast of Lillooet, Bridge River is home to numerous high quality multi-pitch ice/mixed routes spread throughout the valley towards Carpenter Lake.

Getting There

From downtown Lillooet, head North on Main St, then turn left onto Moha Rd, directly after the Subway. Moha Rd eventually turns into Bridge River Rd. At the Y in the road, turn right and cross the bridge over the river. Continue following this road further down into the valley.

[Hide Comment] This area has world-class ice climbing. There was more info on here for more climbs but it seems to have gotten deleted. The locals jealously guard info to this area it seems to keep the “adventure alive,” or maybe just to keep the tourists from Vancouver out. What a shame. Regardless, take a drive down Bridge River road in the winter when it’s cold and you will not be wanting for adventurous, hard (and some easy) ice climbing. Watch for avy danger as some lines are avy chutes. Got for it and have fun. Feb 18, 2024
