Itinerary description

The climb up vensterberg starts from the parking at Sputnik, walk back to the pass and cross the pass before ascending, the trail on the other side of the road is easy to spot. The path thereafter is relatively straightforward with cairns marking the way, the last ascent to the peak after the clearing becomes tricky as the path diverges, all diversions do lead to the peak but some will require some climbing vs the others which are exposed to sheer drops offs, you will have to balance on large rock boulders. The trail provides great views of the Outeniqua range, George, the Klein Karoo, Swartberg and Kamanasie Mountains
