Hiking to Rødryggen

July 1st 2011, I went hiking to Rødryggen (776m) in Tromsdalen, Tromsø. This is not a very exciting "peak"; in the future I'd rather go there on the way to Tromsdalstinden or as part of some other route. I spent 1h 21min the 9,25kms, jogging from the graveyard close to TUIL Arena.
