Description
Fun Run is one of a small number of excellent traditional climbs at Skaha, and is highly recommended.
Scramble up to the top of a large pedestal/platform, then climb the thin corner via jams, lay backs, and stemming. A roof provides the crux, and then the difficulties ease as the angle lessens. At the end another roof provides the mental crux, and is bypassed on the left.
Belay from just below the top on a small ledge at a chain anchor, or on the top of the wall from a tree.
Descend via rappel. A 40 metre rappel will reach the ground. Alternately a 35 metre reaches an anchor just above the ground on the route Test of the Ironman. A second short rappel reaches the ground. Alternately a 7 metre rappel reaches the upper anchors of Test of the Ironman and then a second rappel of 35 metres reaches the ground. It is also possible to walk off to the north from the top of the crag.
