We are doing a one nighter from Sentinel, chain ladders up into the escarpment to as far as the collective legs will carry us, I am hoping for Ifidi area. 27-28 depending on a member it might be on 28-29.

Just bumping this back up.
At this stage only Mark and I confirmed, so plenty of space.
I realise it's probably a bad time of the season, but consider joining us for a fun hike in a quiet area that is seldom visited, and give something back to our beautiful Berg at the same time.

Hi all

Anybody around Ifidi on 7-9 January?

Going up for a quick up and down via the Chainladders with my friend Mark.

Merry New Year to all.

Hello all,

I am planning a hike in Monks Cowl area 5th to 8th February 2016, Friday to Monday multi.

Route outline:
Day 1:
Monks Cowl to KBC and overnight
Day 2:
Up Grays Pass, either cave at nKosasana Cave, but would preferably like to tent somewhere near Vultures Retreat. Explore the top for most of the day.
Day 3:
Down Grays and go ascend Gatberg and down to Zulu cave for the night.
Day 4:
Return to Monks Cowl.

Anyone interested please drop me a line, so far there are 2 definites, myself and a mate of mine.

This will be my first Multi day in the Berg so obviously I am heavy excited.

Cheers
Saros
