Humorous account of a group of inexperienced hikers that attempted the traverse between Organ Pipes and Mlambonja at Cathedral Peak, but, after ascending Organ Pipes Pass via The Camel, landed up descending the Thuthumi Ridge Route instead. A detailed trip report, with lots of pictures, that serves as a good reminder of the serious realities of hiking in the Drakensberg, especially for beginners.
