Should help me acclimatize somewhat Yeah, the heat, especially in the last third of the event when the earlier shade of the mountains are no longer, is another challenge.

Morne Veer Posted February 21, 2022 Share Congrats to each person who got a nat-lappie around his / her neck at the end. That was just another tough day at the Imbuko Big 5 office !! Yikes, you think by now you'd come to grips with the challenge, but one can not argue against the maths : close to 3000m elevation in a mere 70kms, is always gonna tingle a bit. Great event and kudos to the organizers - as always and happy to have spotted a number of regular faces out there ! All things go well, I'll line up in 2023 again ! peetwindhoek, samson99 and milky4130 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilton. Posted December 21, 2022 Share Aha! I think I've found the Canetsfontein climb. Its not on Strava segments, Trailforks etc. Only visible on the Global heatmap: It's at the top of the Obiekwa climb (which is already flipping high) ... I have no idea how you'd get down tho 😝 the map only shows a 1-way up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already struggled on tight uphill switchbacks when I was riding my MTB a lot, now you'd better not be behind me when I attempt this climb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
