The upcoming hikes thread

No, we saw a couple just north-northwest of Mponjwane cave, where - looking down from the escarpment - you see the Mnweni Needles to your left and Mponjwane to your right.

I believe the spot you described is the one Anthony and company told us to go watch them. Sounds really awesome!

We were planning on descending Nguza pass to the ledge running across the Saddle North Peak (the ledge is right above the chimney in the pass) to have a look at the approach to the frontal route on the North Peak. So we thought we could stop by the vultures on the way there. However, when we reached Mponjwane cave it was already after 15h00 and we were pretty paced!

So another public holiday next weekend and where else would you spend it but in the Berg?

So if you are hiking which areas and passes are you planning on doing?

Yes, planning to do Sehlabathebe - Tarn cave, Knuckles and Tsoelikane Falls.
Expecting it to be very dry!

Normally a long weekend would rush me to the berg too, but I'll spend the weekend rock climbing at Eagle Mountain Resort, Harrismith. I think my berg time is going to suffer a lot now - at the end of October I'm moving to Cape Town

Planned a hike from the Sentinel car park to Mnweni area and back again. We got up Beacon Butress Gulley on Thursday night but had to descend on Friday, The rivers were bone dry!
The only water we found was one or two small puddles in the Tugela falls but the water didnt seem to cosher. It was rather disappointing to find litter and cigarette buds floating around in them.
Spent the rest of the weekend in Golden gate and Clarence
