Those additional criteria sound great. Anyone that wants to submit such write-ups on passes they have done, just get hold of me by sending me a PM through my profile.
While articles such as these are very informative and definitive, remember that other avenues of expression are also available on this site. The blogs cater for a more casual, less definitive and personal expression (like if you want to give a personal account of an ascent of a pass, etc.). Pictures of passes should be posted in this sub-album:
www.vertical-endeavour.com/gallery/drakensberg/passes.html Remember: a picture paints a thousand words. The forums are always a place to ask for info and to collect it, and to thrash out ideas. The dedicated sub-forum for this is:
www.vertical-endeavour.com/forum/11-drakensberg-passes.html . If you have a file suitable for downloading (like GPS tracks), it can be submitted too, and will be published here:
www.vertical-endeavour.com/downloads/cat_view/50-drakensberg/47-drakensberg-passes.html
I have also been working on bookmarking and tagging selected pages that contain good info on passes (and caves) using Delicious. While I have not managed to get on top of this project, you can get an idea of what this will look like:
delicious.com/intrepid_ve/ . So, clicking on a tag like "Amakehla" or "Thuthumi" will provide a selective list of good pages to see (whether its a photo, article, blog or forum post, or a download). This provides much more filtered results that a normal search engine result would.
There are even more ideas we are considering, for even further avenues of expression and presentation, but these are future projects which we'll give more details on at a later stage. In the mean time, keep the info and discussions going!
