Kantuba Buttress

That diagonal gully across the face looks interesting doesn't it? Not sure if its been climbed. The interesting thing about this peak is that it is among South Africa's highest peaks, yet it's relatively unknown. Have uploaded another picture of the face viewed from kaNtuba Pass here:

There are two, tall Basotho cairns on the summit - amazing view from there across the remote Mangaun and kaNtuba valleys. Obviously from the escarpment side, its just a short slog up a grassy dome.

It has 2 forks, much like Ships Prow in a way, and I've measured both summits to be just over 3300m - making them among the highest passes in the Berg (the map indicates 3250m, but actual contours at the waypoint contradict this). This picture also brings out the diagonal gully across the face too.

Have not done the pass myself. Have looked up it and down into it. No trail from what I can see. The summit of the alternate south fork has a stone wall system used for kraals.

My feeling is that it is comparable to Ships Prow South Fork: probably a bouldery and bushy approach from the contour path (not sure whether quite as bad), followed by very steep, grassy, but "clean" slopes once you are on the pass itself. Very comparable to Ships Prow South Fork in length and altitude.
