Another Run at Rundle

The East End of Rundle is becoming a go-to favourite for me! With a round trip time of about 4 hours, this hike offers a forested and rocky ascent with gorgeous views of Ha Ling and the surrounding Spray Valley. A short, yet super fun scramble with a bit of exposure greets you before the summit. My friend Dan, who was visiting for another mountain adventure, was up for epic hikes, and I knew EEOR would be a great after work accomplishment.

This time around, the weather wasn’t in our favour, as rain began fall halfway through the hike. That said, the crazy weather pressures in store resulted in low clouds, and by the time we reached the peak, we felt on top of the world!

Don't touch bombs! This is good advice.

Don't fall off the edge! Instead, just admire the views of Ha Ling and the Spray Valley.

Stick to the exposed scramble on the right and you may find yourself using your hands as you climb to the summit

We made it!

On top of the world!... or just above the clouds.
