"What a great morning out. Meeting some new people, just relaxing and resetting for the week ahead.
Got caught in a sudden thunder storm towards the end of the hike, which is very unlikely in the area. Some lightning strikes actually started a number of fires on the mountain. These have been raging 3 days later!" — Kortstok • Apr 27, 2024
"First time discovering the classic Pieke Suidfront route. A rewarding but intimidating route with lots of challenging route-finding. I'd strongly recommend using a rope for the steep scramble / climb which takes you to the final ridgeling (before the famous C+ grade 3m climb on the ridgeline)" — CraigBurnsStellenbosch • Apr 13, 2024
"A team of 7 guys started from Kylemore and hiked up duiwelskloof. We overnighted in the cave at the top of the kloof. The next morning we pushed on towards to the summit of Drakensteinpiek and descended down past Afrikakop down to the Bergrivier nek." — Willowskid08 • Feb 11, 2024
"Ons was oppad om Tierkloof te abseil toe Dorette haar enkel swik. Van ons het op gegaan na die piek terwyl sy saam met Nardus en Hendrik weer berg af moes sukkel met die seer enkel. " — LeRoux-Kotze • Jan 13, 2024
"5 am start from Jonkershoek gate and did the Northern route out and back. Not sure if this route is closed as mentioned in many other reports, but anyway, the path on the lower sections has clearly been taken over by MTB trails. Path overgrown but reasonable 60% of the way, the gpx file to navigate came in handy and saved time on about 4 occassions. 3:30 up and 2:30 down. No water on the way and lekker hot! Views to east and west from the ridge quite amazing" — dawidburger • Dec 16, 2023
