Cathedral Peak

Line drawing of the famous Cathedral Peak in the Drakensberg, South Africa. A hiker starting his adventure by Diane Shearer | Art From adventure

The Cathedral peak is my favourite peak in the Drakensberg. The distinctive shape stands out and can be seen from almost anywhere in the Drakensberg. It is a 3,004 m high free-standing mountain and can be hiked in a day. It is a rocky scramble up, but at the top, you can look down into the Cathedral Valley on one side and the Mnweni Valley on the other side.
