Stawamus Chief Slide update 9 p.m.

Squamish Search and Rescue (SAR) and the RCMP have remained on site throughout the afternoon and evening working to assess geotechnical hazards within the rock slide area, and identify people out on the Chief to the cars in the parking lot.

There have been no missing persons reported and no information submitted that suggests anyone is unaccounted for. The RCMP remained on site until dark to connect with any remaining hikers or climbers, and all cars have now left the parking lot. At this point SAR is not anticipating that a further search and rescue effort will be required. 

The situation will be reassessed in the morning.
