We recently completed the Bell-Twins Traverse via Cathedral Peak in the South African Drakensberg mountains (January 2018).
Overall, this was definitely one of the best hikes I have done- and I have hiked extensively around the world. Gavin is a fantastic guide and not only did he make the hike possible, but he also enhanced our trip with great stories and knowledgeable anecdotes along the way.
Gavin is a superior guide with extensive experience and skill. He is also an ambassador of his passion for the mountains, being a past president of the Kwa-Zulu Natal section of the mountain club, overseeing mountain search and rescue in the area, and involved in maintaining climbing standards and instruction.
In summary, the Bell Traverse is an exceptional hike and Gavin an exceptional guide for it! Challenges and rewards await each day.
And a further note, I would recommend Gavins’ book : ”Drakensberg Select” , by Blue Mountain Publishers, if you are seriously interested in some of the epic climbs and hikes in the Berg.
