Womxn for Wild - Monks Cowl Hike - MvZ-67.jpg

The Drakensberg is no small feat (feet?), and by that, we mean the mountains are BIG!

There was also sleet. And snow. And rain. And shine. And sweat. And smiles :)

 

Thankfully. We came prepared!

We had one heck of a time exploring the Monk’s Cowl regions of the Drakensberg with our favourite mountain guide, Michaela.

There was blazing sunshine, steep uphills, cave adventures, route changes, bundu bashing, laughing, crying, mist, sleet and celebrations! What a time with all of you. 3 nights, over 40 kilometers, 2000 meters of elevation gain, 14 womxn, we flippen did it!

Would we do it again? Heck yeah!

Cool! What else happened on the trip?
