Itinerary:

Meet at parking lot at 08:00. We will attempt one of the easy multi-pitch routes on Rundle (Banff side). North Ridge of Rundle: Sunriser S 5.9, Rundlehorn S 5.5, McLab Slab S 5.7, Gold Rush S 5.6. Reason I haven't chosen is because it gets very busy and the plan will have to be flexible depending on other climbers. Then we rappel down and head home! 


You must be able to lead belay! You don't have to lead climb.


Carpooling is an option (I can pick you up on the way just message me).
