Hoping someone out there might either email me or upload the gpx file for Ntonjelana Pass on the VE site ?

Any comments re decending this pass would be helpful too

Hi Simon

Can help u out with a short descrition : The Pass leaves at the low point in the Ecarp North of Mlambonja Pass. Its a few 100mtrs of descent of a rocky gulley, then it contours left into the next valley. 2 Options presents itself : the longer contour, or a direct descent down a ridge that requires a sandy abt 5mtr scramble. It joins the other further down. The path is badly eroded. You see the exit of the valley way down to the left towards Waterfall Cave but when I was there last local herders had brought their cattle as far up as the cave. Then its a long gentle walk to the locals huts where it joins up to the path from Rockeries Pass. Find your way to the 'main' road and head right to the Cultural Centre.
The view from Ntonjelane Pass is absolutely stunning across to the Northern section of the Cathedral Range

HI Simon hope this helps it is a very easy but long pass
