We have a winner! Showing only one of the two Ifidi Pinnacles was a little sneaky I suppose... :whistle:

@ghaznavid - you need to get up North. There are some serious gems like Ifidi waiting :thumbsup:

Twas a nice shot Stijn.

Take nothing but litter, leave nothing but a cleaner Drakensberg.

The first time I ever stood on the escarpment was 27 December 2009, being Mashia Pass and Rhino Peak, the fact that since then I have been to the berg 10 times I would say isn't bad going! Still never even been to Mnweni, Injisuthi (well the car park, I have walked 5m into the reserve on the contour path and escarpment), Lotheni, Vergelegen, Cobham or Bushman's Nek (also never been to the 2 small berg reserves), so I think my knowledge of the berg isn't bad considering...

Btw I plan to get north in the future, but I need to cross Popple off my list before I move on to the rest of the Berg, in October (after my exams are done and I remind myself that the trajic destruction of the Drakensberg was actually a myth to stop me from going onto this site when I should be studying (oops!)) I want to do a 4 day trip from Injisuthi to Centenary Hut, up Judge Pass on day 2, defeat Popple, spend the night in upper Injisuthi, conquer Injisuthi Dome, Mafadi and Trojan wall with a descent to Marble Baths via Leslies Pass on day 3 and the final day being the return to the car park, thereafter I still need to complete the Bollard Wilson loop, climb Knuckles, Sani/Stones, Champagne (via the Grey/Ships loop) and visiting Lotheni and Vergelegen, only thereafter does the Northern Berg re-enter my hiking list (understand that from PMB its a 250km drive to Royal Natal, Mnweni has dirt roads (if I'm correct), so anything north of Cathedral is logistically difficult)...

@ghaznavid, we'll call you Popple from now on. ;)

@Intrepid: You wouldn't even be the first person to call me that! (Any idea where Popple got its name from?) It would actually be kind of appropriate to be named after a peak I never climbed considering the Ghaznavids where a Persian break away tribe that lasted a few hundred years in modern day Iran/Pakistan (around the 10th to 12th centuary AD) and despite usuing their name for my VE account, my email address and my cellphone's bluetooth name, I have never been to land that was ever controlled by them, I have never used their wargames army and therefore have absolutely no tie to them, although its fun to know random facts about a nation in history that basically no one has ever heard of...
