Route: Orange Gully buttress up & down Intake Ravine

One of my favourite loops on Table Mountain from Orangekloof.

Starts with a good ‘bundu bash’ for the first couple of hours, then on to a very fun scramble on a ridge line towards Groot kop. A very short cut across to my favourite Intake Ravine! So beautiful she is!

Weather was great!
Company was fabulous!
Ceremonial Cocao!

What a morning 🤍

Thank you

Table Mountain Route:

Up Myberg’s kloof & down Myberg’s Ravine

Been awhile since I ascended the kloof up, oh such a beautiful way up. 4 waterfalls and a little wet today. Super wild on top, gale force gusts & a quick drop in temperature, we moved quickly towards the infamous down route of Mybergs Ravine…

Oh Mybergs you always delight 🌿

Thanks that was delightful
