Enjoy

I am going to Vergelegen with AndrewR this weekend - first time at Vergelegen :woohoo:

Funny to have all the non-technical khulus and none of the passes at Vergelegen. For the record - the technical khulus are King Kong and possibly the Ntshintshini spire (doubtful, but pending verification).

Enjoy guys.

Any particular route in mind? I've also never been there before, but have been looking around the area as it seems a bit quieter.

Up Nhlangeni Pass, down KaNtuba Pass.

Definitely not the most popular part of the Berg, but the escarpment part of it is great.

I have always loved one of the images of KaNtuba Pass on this site, so it has come on to the radar!

I hope it goes well.

Thanks! I gave it a good look on New Years Eve last year, it looks like a good one. And being the highest pass top in the Berg, it kind of becomes one of those "you have to do it" routes!

Does anyone from the Gauteng area want to do a trip to Golden Gate for the weekend of 20-21 Feb?

Oh wow - starting that soon?

Good Luck Andrew! P.S. I think it's time you declared your intentions to the rest of VE

Plan to leave MC, meet up with saros and co, who are
coming down Gray's, at BMC, and ascend Sterkhorn to check
on the cross.

From Dbn or Pmb would be ideal, to share transport.

Let me know.

Looks like I'm solo the whole way now, saros and co have had to bail.
I know short notice, but any last minute takers welcome. I'm going to go anyway, unless the weather is really lousy....
