Have had this traverse on the list since last year. Saw another report for it few weeks ago, so decided to give it a try.
Started at 8:30am, pretty leisurely and quite late by all [my] standards. The approach does take a while: usually it's for a bit and then climb/scramble for a long time. But on this one, I was walking and "well, it's almost 10am and haven't summited anything yet, not even a hill or ridge".
Also, I stashed my bike quite early, right at junction after the second bridge. The best option is by the third bridge (a blue dot on the map), that's another 3.3km each way on bike and less walking.
Once you are on Mt Fortune's slope, it's very straight forward and a hike actually. The views are getting better and better as the elevation goes. After today, I believe the best view of Spray Lakes and the valley is from Mt Fortune.
From the first summit, it's just nice, ..." — alexp • Jul 22, 2018
