PEAK HIGH Mountaineering

A 3.5 day mountain trip, which takes in the most spectacular hiking available. We stay in caves including the breath taking views of Roland’s Cave. We summit Cleft Peak on day 3 and Cathedral Peak on day 4. The hike starts and ends at 1600m with the highest point 3277m. Total distance is 45kms. Hiking is on a well marked trail and off trail in places. You need to be fit and able to carry your own backpack and also have a head for heights as there are a few places that are exposed. Summitting Cathedral Peak is optional and does involve some exposed scrambling. The guide uses a safety rope on this section. We stay in either a cave or small mountain tents.

3 days and 3 nights in the Northern Drakensberg. A circular route taking in some of South Africa’s most spectacular mountains. High and very rugged, we summit Cleft Peak early on day two.
Hiking is on steep paths and some off-trail hiking. You need to be fit able to carry your own rucksack. A few places are exposed, so a good head for heights is needed.

A trekking peak and one of South Africa’s highest mountains, including a steep and rough ascent on summit day. The hike starts and ends at 1580m with the highest point, 3333m. The total distance is 42kms.

The hiking is mostly on trail but includes a rough and steep ascent and descent of Grey’s Pass. You need to be fit and strong and able to hike with a full backpack for up to 6 hours a day.
