Pappa Bear Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Hi, Has anyone ever gone up with the cable car at Harties and found a trail down to the cable car house again? On googleearth it SEEMS possible - any body tried this? PB
jagwil Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Yes. It can be done. There are probably a few different routes down. I have done it up and down.
Fitbull Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Cable car at Harties no longer works! So you need to ride up and down!

CAAD4 Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Cable car at Harties no longer works! So you need to ride up and down! That's what I thought. Was it ever repaired after it broke causing fatalities?
patches Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Cable car at Harties no longer works! So you need to ride up and down! aah that sucks! Could have been kinda "overseas-bike-parky"... looks like we may have to find a route in the PTA zoo and use that cable car
eyecandy Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 OMG.. gotta try that Dont mind riding up, its down that i hate
KonaMTB Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 They busy revamping the cable car looks like it's going to look very cool. Went past there yesterday.
Danger Dassie Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Is there an actual loop to go up and down, or is it on the same trail?
Scalpel Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 As far as I know the cable car will be up and running very soon. Been replaced with new stuff and new management!! There is a jeep track going up the mountain at the back. Other side than cable cars!
Pappa Bear Posted June 23, 2011 Author Posted June 23, 2011 We will have to do the cable car thing.....
nolipoli Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 As far as I have heard, they are putting bike racks on the cable car. There is talk of a DH course and other freeride stuff. If it all happens, we (GP) may end up ahead of everywhere else in SA. Pants Boy 1

nolipoli Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Maybe with a "lift" in place everyone will start to concentrate their trail building efforts, and then our own little whistler could just be. It would be nice to get some official news on it though. At the moment it is all just rumours.
GrootSeun Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 We go up there once or twice a week Nice climb, fast down! We are busy with the guys at the cable cars...you'll all have to wait and see !
Pappa Bear Posted June 23, 2011 Author Posted June 23, 2011 ...you'll all have to wait and see ! Hurry up!! we can't wait anymore for a little wistler!
