how difficult is Wendell's way compared to yafta and Lawrence ( last section in loop A ) Lawrence is not really difficult it's just when it's the last section of loop a and yr exhausted.

so if you can do yafta and Lawrence ....Wendell's way is do able hopefully ? Obviously more climbing in Wendell's way?

Yeah, I think I said this before on this thread, but I find Yafta and Lawrence more technical than Wendell's just more climbing on Wendell's.

 

When I just started doing the Blue loops at Thaba I could hardly ride any of it, now I can ride most of it, with cleats, I think the Loops and Thaba will be much easier without cleats.

that's me walked most of loop A & B only done them twice. Hopefully now a liilte more skilled,but won't do in cleats.if can ride 40-50 % would be well happy.

 

Walking is not fun and can make you disheartened at going back to try again.
