"An awesome overnight hike to summit the mighty Sneeuberg. I always enjoy the scrambling to the summit, and we found two tunnels which bypass exposed sections which I didn't know about. " — CraigBurnsStellenbosch • Apr 9, 2023

"Zsa and I parked at Eikeboom. We set off at 10:15, took about 2 hours to reach the Sneeuberg hut, took lunch there, and dropped bags before setting off for Sneeuberg at around 13:30. It took us 45min to reach the start of the climb up towards the neck. We took the standard route up to the neck and then along the cairns to the summit and got to the top at around 16:00. Spent some time on the summit and headed back down. We reached the Sneeuberg hut at around 19:00, walking in the bright moonlight for the last bit of the trail. Great day out!" — Willowskid08 • Aug 9, 2022

"My daughter and I hiked up to the Hut from Eikeboom late 29th Dec and bivy’d there. For Dec/Jan it was pretty cold. Left our bags in the Hut and set out over the Nek at 0730 in perfect hiking weather. Lots of water along the route and started up the main path with full bottles. Route fairly well marked but also lots of red herrings (we tried to summit 2 years ago to the day but got as far as the first chimney on a very hot day with no more water and decided to turn back). Eventually summited at 1100. It was so cool up there that we were blowing steam. Back down and collected our bags and got to the Eikeboom car park at 1600 - btw, the elevation according to my gadget is 2026m" — edbeesley • Dec 30, 2021

"Approached via Maltese cross from the trail parking. Stashed gear at the bivy spot closest to the trailhead. Ascended without much difficulty - route welled marked and fairly obvious. Using the crawl space on the first chimney makes the brief traverse simply, and the crawl space on the second avoids the chimney all together (in hindsight). Abseiled down." — courtney-and-phillipkent • Apr 17, 2021

"Approached via Duiwelsgat from Algeria, overnight at Sneeuberg hut. Attempt day one: cloud and wind prevented ascent. Attempt day two: frozen rock surfaces at summit prevented safe ascent. Bailed via jeep track to Eikeboom and hitchhiked to Algeria." — courtney-and-phillipkent • Sep 19, 2020

"It was day 3 of our hike. Matt, Spud, Gregg, Leon and I had driven in from Cederberg Wines gate to the parking and hiked through to the sneeuberg hut to drop off our heavy bags. It was strange to pass the side path up to sneeuberg, knowing we would have to come back there before going up to the top, however, we wanted to reserve some spots in the hut, considering it was easter weekend. After dropping our bags, having a lunch and packed our daypacks (warm clothes, water, sugary snacks, headlamps) we set off back to the sneeuberg path. on the route we encountered about 4 groups who were returning from the mountain, none of who had reached the summit with one group getting as close to 50m from the top. Apparently, the winds were blowing really hard up there and they could not find the route. I had summited before, so figured I could find the path up again. We reached the saddle and experienced the really hard winds before setting a course for the multiple cairns upwards on the rocky outcrop of the mountain. We made good progress and helped each other up, through, over and around the various scrambles. Near the top, some of the lads could not go further. A combination of vertigo..." — Willowskid08 • Apr 16, 2017

"Drove to driehoek on Friday night. Hiked into the reserve in the dark, pitched a tent. Woke up Saturday morning, stashed the heavy stuff behind some big rocks. Walked up to the base of Sneeuberg, dropped some more gear and took off for the summit. The last bit of the climb is a terrific scramble. We enjoyed the view and headed back down, all the way to the stashed tent, loaded the bakkie and slept at the oasis backpackers before heading home on Sunday. We saw wildlife, klipsprings, snakes, lizards, eagles, SNOW PROTEA. Great hike." — Willowskid08 • Oct 15, 2016
