| Itinerary: |
Max Elevation: 2700m
Elevation Gain: apprx 1025m
Distance: approx 12km
IMPORTANT Note: Mount Rundle is a difficult hike. The traverse requires scrambling skills.
Do not attempt this event if you've never hiked,
or have difficulty with hard elevation gains.
For those of you who have done Ha Ling Peak you will be
able to marvel at your accomplishment while hiking up Mount Rundle.
There are numerous peaks to Mount Rundle, each varying in elevation and
technical difficulty. The trail rises at a moderate incline and clears
the treeline quickly. The trail then becomes rockier in terrain which
will then give way to a more gentle sloped meadowed area. We will be going for the third peak.
YOU WILL NEED A ROCK CLIMBING HELMET TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS EVENT.
Please note: The event coordinator has not completed this hike before but would like to check it out. Your patience is appreciated.
