Cathedral Peak Hike


We spent the "Woman's Day" long weekend hiking in the berg again. Had been way too long since the last hike so it was long overdue. This was our first time in the Cathedral Peak area. We hiked from the hotel to Tsekeseke Hut for the first night and Xeni cave for the second night. Above is a panorama from a little dam just below the hotel. On the right of the picture you can see The inner and outer horn, the Bell and the tip of Cathedral peak disappearing into the mountain in-front of it.


Above is a picture of the hut we slept in (all 10 of us!) and below a picture of Xeni cave by candle light. This was one of the best caves we've been to by far...


This is the group making their way down on the countour path towards the hut...


This is our group on the second day. This is on the ridge on top of Xeni cave. Steep descent down towards the cave. The views were amazing...



Afternoon sunset: The berg is such a difficult place to photograph because of the contrast between bright and dark areas (in the shadows). This trip was the first time I tried some graduated filters which I think made a big difference here... Love the layers of sun rays coming through all the different peaks...
