Guess where?

The problem is that there are no major distinct features to help us... challenging! Looks like a pass top and given the knowledge of your stomping ground, my first guess would be the top of Mashai Pass?

You are correct that it is the top of a pass, you are not correct on the pass though... To anyone who has done this pass recently it is very distinctive, it is visible from most of the pass and until you reach the top you assume its a false summit...

Mzimude Pass?

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

You can't see the top of Mzimude Pass till you are right near the top (not that I have ever summitted Mzimude Pass, but I have been near its base)... If there are 3 more incorrect guesses I will post a picture looking backward from where this photo was taken (and that would be a dead giveaway)...

Btw how many of you actually catch the first joke, while the peak was distinctive to me, it isn't necessarily to everyone...

@Stijn: was that just a guess or did one of my comments give it away?! And yes, it is Bannerman pass...

Just a guess based on the number of times you've done that pass! :thumbsup:

@ghaznavid: your Popple joke was not lost on me :) . Bannerman Pass...sheesh, don't remember that.

@Stijn: OK, probably Southern Berg, Cobham-ish, or Garden Castle. That bit of High Berg could be Verkyker Peak or Mzimude?

Definitely not Mzimude, but based on what the small berg looks like it has to be southern berg. The proper escarpment ends at Walker's Peak, but the full level cliffs end at Mzimude Pass, so based on my memory (and photos) of the area, that is distinctly not a peak south of Rhino. Based on my photos of driving to Garden Castle I also doubt its anything south of Hodgeson's Peak.

I'm thinking its at Vergelegen...

Nice photo by the way...
