Itineraries for doing the Bell Traverse

another possible point of confusion might be that the route up Cathedral peak used to exit almost at the very top of Buggers gully. But a different route tends to be followed now instead (down and to the NW of the gully). That might explain why the route is said to be closed/discontinued.

Some people via the grape vine in PTA.
That is why had to ask here.
So the Bell traverse over Buggers Gully is open and good to go?

I heard from someone that a hiker had fallen and died there not so long ago, we decided on decending via organ pipes pass instead! Is orange peel gap that dangerous?

Sorry Intrepid, it has obviously been too long since my last hike! when I saw the post I wasnt thinknig, I realize It was in fact at "Windy Gap" that some one had fallen?

Hi All,

Need some help/advice - taking a group including 2 novice hikers up Bell traverse , planning on hiking up to Shermans one afternoon ,then doing the Bell Traverse up past twins and into Lesotho the following day, want to camp near tsketske so to descend down it the final day back to the hotel? I am concerned about what I have read about the stae of this pass- your communal input is welcome:)
