Namahadi Peak

Hi

Want to go climbing namahadi peak, but I saw on the map that I have (the No 1 of the drakensberg map series) it seems that I am just missing namahadi peak on the map. So am I going to have to go the government survey maps route on this one, or can someone help me out with a scanned map or something?

I saw you can get some of the government maps here government maps but it seems like they haven't done the entire country. So how does one go about getting some of these maps?

Also regarding namahadi, I presume the easiest way to get to it is to simply go up chain ladders and then follow the escarpment to the peak? Can anyone who has done it tell me how long it should take?

Thanks

Hi Rinus, Hope this pdf scan I have of the relevant area from Slingsby's map helps you. Namahadi is the peak at the top of the Namahadi Pass, Lekhalo-la-Namahali, 3197m on the map. It is about 2 km south west of the chain ladders and about 200 m higher in altitude.

Sorry, made the pdf a bit smaller, hope it goes through now. I hope this is the correct peak you are after, and not another peak to the west off the map.

Hi

Cant seem to get these PDF's, could you possibly mail it to me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., then you can give me the bigger version.

Thanks

Hi Tony

Seems like that is not the one I am looking for. The peak Lekhalo-la-Namahali is only 3197m and namahadi peak is 3275m, and apparently it is not on the map tha you sent me (I also have that same map).

So can anyone provide me with a map of where to find Namahadi peak (highet peak in Free State).

Rinus

has anyone got photos of Namahadi peak or the area around it?

Will you let me know once you've uploaded it so I can get it quicks?

Hi

Thanks a lot for the map, I got it

Just wanted to make sure after you said it is not marked nor even the hight given on the map, that I am aiming for the right thing.

Is it the one that I marked with the red X?

Hi PLOUW

Here is some good info as well as pictures of the hike to namahadi.
