Hi All
I seem to recall a weather station that was installed in the Monks Cowl area on the escarpment there was a website you could track information. Any info on the web site as I can no onger find it.
Secondly I seem to recall someone mentioning a weather station close to the chain ladders, again, any info on this? There is a structure near the top of Namahadi Pass which I wondered might be it? If so, is this data available somewhere?
Thanks

The one at Vultures Retreat has been down since February lognet.saeon.ac.za/HiAlt/index.html
Mike's pass is still working lognet.saeon.ac.za/mikes_pass/index.html
I don't know of any online access to the Namahadi one

This one hasn’t operated since the 1980s but I still have fond memories of it.
Can anyone guess its location?

Cool pic! Seems to be one of the summits in the Cathedral range, and since you're wearing (vintage!) climbing gear, I'm going to go with the Bell?

Spot on from the originator of the VE “Guess Where” thread.
Those Whillans sit harnesses were designed to keep you on the rock. Take a whipper in one of those and you sing like a eunuch for the rest of your days.
