Ledgers Pass

I remember standing at the head of this pass with you and saying it looks doable. We even agreed the route probably wouldn’t be straight down the gully but along a ridge line half way down. 

Glad someone did it and documented it now. 

Well done guys 

Yes I also remember the talk of that route when we were up there.  Glad its been documented and another one to try now.  Hope the track will be posted in the downloads. 

Well done guys!

You think you could point out the gully on GE? There are not too many between there and Mweni that appear too accessible...

Not sure re the name, but besides building terminology there is also the slab over a tomb option.

LOL

Sorry Sabine. Someone with one of those gadgets is going to have to log a 'track download' - there was no tech.

Well done guys. That ridge looks really cool !

Looks like a great route!

On the topic of alternative routes in this area, does anyone know anything about the valley over the ridge from the Mnweni (marked in red below)?

The first time I visited the Mnweni I went up this valley by accident, and there was a clear path (barred at the start by two crossed logs, which should have been a sign) that went quite far up the valley before it petered out in the bush. A path to a climbing route on the Needles, perhaps?

Thanks, Ghaz. No pass listed on the map (I know many passes aren't), otherwise I would've searched!

must be an Interesting story, what where you trying to end up there?

Mnweni Pass is in the lower portion of the shot.
