SQUAMISH – A 22-year-old woman is dead after a fatal slack-line incident at a recreation area north of Vancouver.

Squamish RCMP say they received a report on Friday afternoon of a female falling from a slack line at Chek Canyon Recreation Area.

The area is a popular climbing spot 87 kilometres north of Vancouver.

Mounties say first responders confirmed the woman was dead at the scene.

Search and Rescue was called in to help with the recovery effort due to difficulty accessing the area, which was at the bottom of a canyon.

RCMP says the BC Coroners Service is investigating.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 18, 2025.

Note to readers:This is a corrected story. A previous version said the fall happened on Saturday. In fact, it happened on Friday.
