For the rappel approach, park at the paved pullout and picnic area near the information board for Squamish. Hiking in via the talus slope is not recommended. Instead, walk south along the highway and after crossing a bridge, you will see the mound with the cairn marking the start of the scramble down along fixed lines.
AMAZING
Looking at p1 in high water. Best not slip into the stream!
