Bell Cave and Cathedral Peak - A Drakensberg Adventure

Watch in HD!

In January, myself, Gabriel and Wandile hiked the first stretch of the Bell Traverse to spend a night in Bell Cave, and then summit Cathedral Peak the next morning. The views on this hike were unlike any I had ever seen - the green rolling hills of the lower berg, the dramatic peaks through which we hiked, the Sun rising above a blanket of cloud, and Cathedral Peak itself, a lone point rising out of a sea of clouds.

The hike is tough, some sections are quite exposed, and Bugger Gulley and the final stretch up to the peak itself are fairly technical with little room for error. However, it's still very manageable for a fit group, and I strongly recommend giving it a go if you're well prepared and feel up to the challenge.

Tried speaking to the camera to give occasional context, which is terrible XD but hopefully paints a better picture of what was going on. Also, found out too late that YouTube doesn't allow end screen cards for more widescreen videos, so apologies for the blank screen at the end.
