GPS data for Christmas Pass. The pass is the obvious grassy col directly below Easter Cave . It is not technically difficult but the route does involve some steep grassy slopes that need to be slowly negotiated, with lots of ankle-twisting moments.You could use the main gully, although it It does have one major obstacle which could be circumnavigated

It is bundu-bashy along the river at the bottom. There are boulders, thick bush, hidden trenches and a significant waterfall which has to be negotiated.

To access the pass, the diversion from the Ntonjelana Pass route is after Waterfall Cave, where the trail crosses the last major river before ascending directly up the ridge. There are trails in these lower regions that will help you initially, which of course vanish in due course, leaving you in easy grassy terrain which will become more rugged as you move up the valley.

Associated camping options include Easter Cave, Waterfall Cave, and the campsite right by the smuggling route which diverges from the Ntonjelana Pass trail at the river mentioned earlier.
