Pyramid Standard Route GPS Pyramid Standard Route GPS data

GPS data for the Standard Route (North Ridge) of the Pyramid, Cathedral Peak, Northern Drakensberg. Includes tracks for the exit from the Tseketseke Valley, traverse below the Pyramid, and scramble up the North Ridge. Waypoints include the exit point from the Tseketseke Valley, the neck below  the "Shark's Tooth", water supply along the route, the point at which the ascent of the North Ridge begins, the bottom scrambly pitch and the main, F1 pitch.

My GPS did not accompany me beyond the main pitch to the summit on this trip, but at this point GPS navigation is no longer needed anyway. For clarity, theoretical waypoints for the summits of The Pyramid and for the Shark's Tooth are included.

Note: climbing The Pyramid requires moutaineering skills and equipment. The approach up to the North Ridge covers steep terrain but is of a non-technical nature. There is no trail nor any markings. The scramble up the North Ridge becomes increasingly technical.
