"A team of 7 guys started from Kylemore and hiked up duiwelskloof. We overnighted in the cave at the top of the kloof. The next morning we pushed on towards to the summit of Drakensteinpiek and descended down past Afrikakop down to the Bergrivier nek." — Willowskid08 • Feb 11, 2024
"5 am start from Jonkershoek gate and did the Northern route out and back. Not sure if this route is closed as mentioned in many other reports, but anyway, the path on the lower sections has clearly been taken over by MTB trails. Path overgrown but reasonable 60% of the way, the gpx file to navigate came in handy and saved time on about 4 occassions. 3:30 up and 2:30 down. No water on the way and lekker hot! Views to east and west from the ridge quite amazing" — dawidburger • Dec 16, 2023
"7:30 Start from Helderberg NR. 3 hours up and 2:30 down. Perfect Autumn day with zero wind. The well maintained Protea trail up the south side is a rarity climbing mountains and makes the approach so much quicker and more enjoyable. The Waboom trail coming down a nice alternative to just an out and back. In Autumn a lot of shade even on the way down at lunch time. Take water +++ as none on the trail. The last gully going up from the northern (Stellenbosch) side to the base of the main Dome is the worst part with a lot of loose rocks in the path which basically goes up the way the water comes down. Awesome 360 views on top." — dawidburger • Apr 16, 2023
"Took advantage of friends doing the 13 Peaks challenge to tackle the peaks above Hout Bay, focusing on Karbonkelberg. A very tough summit as described by previous notes. We were fortunate to find a good rock ladder/staircase up the side to the ridge line but traversing along the ridge was tough with a lot of fighting of bushes and trying to wind through the trees that sit between the rocks along the ridge line." — davidcase • Apr 8, 2023
