Africa mountains

"Up Dark Gorge and over Ledges to Maclears Beacon, along the tabletop and known Kloof Corner Ridge. Probably of the most spectacular routes on Table Mountain! (Don't attempt unless someone in your party had done all the sections! Especially defending Kloof Corner)" — CraigBurnsStellenbosch • Apr 11, 2021

"ACCESS ISSUES: I drove 2 hours from Ngodwana to climb this peak. Just over 2km in I was stopped by 3 Security guards from Phoenix K9. They asked me if I had obtained permission, which I hadn't. I spoke to their supervisor (Reynard) on the phone. He told me the property belonged to Notham Booysendal Mine. He gave me the number of Marius (+27 84 804 7626). Unfortunately I had to run back to my car for signal (Vodacom). I called Marius on a Sunday, and he agreed to let me go to the top. I would strongly encourage you to call him well in advance to arrange access, he seems like a very reasonable guy. Apparently illegal poaching has caused the tension with access. The peak itself is unfortunately as spectacular as it is challenging - not at all. I am however glad I stood on the highest point of Mpumalanga." — harrymaarsingh • Mar 28, 2021

"We camped at Sneeugat and ascended from there. It was a hot and humid day but the views and clear sky was spectacular. These mountains are merciless. No walk in the park. I hope to do the frontal route before I kick the bucket one day." — LeRoux-Kotze • Mar 21, 2021

"Did a three day hike spending night 1 in front of the Welbedacht Cave as it was full (lots of place to camp on flat ground in front of the cave). I hiked to the bottom of Welbedacht river, 450m elevation decent, to collect 10l of water for the next two days. Water purification tablets would have prevented this as there's a trickle at the top of the valley near the cave. (which I found in my first aid kit after the hike...). Night two was supposed to be in Spout Cave but the weather was so perfect that we decided to camp on top of the Tafleberg. The sunrise over the Karoo the next morning was incredible (see pictures).

"Perdekop VK attempt #3. Bettered my time by over a minute on a very misty and windy day. It opened up on the way to DuToitkop and the views were just spectacular. The clouds came rolling in on the final descent and run ended as it started, in very light drizzle." — Kortstok • Mar 14, 2021
