My wife and I are planning an overnight expedition to the Wolfberg Arch early Friday, 1 May. We are looking for 1 or 2 reliable hikers to join us so we can meet the CapeNature “Rule of Three” for the permit.
The Mission:
Route: Ascent via Big Cracks.
Goal: Camping at the Arch for sunset, sunrise
Pace: Steady and focused. I will be carrying a heavy load, so we aren’t rushing, but we are committed to the summit.
The Ideal Partner or group
Has their own overnight gear and is self-sufficient.
Is fit enough for the vertical scramble of the Cracks.
Reliable and safe-minded. Will be great to know if there are any groups going the same day
Yup checked with them. Visit to the arch is open via the Cracks for day hikes only. They are not sure when overnight camping will be allowed again. My wife’s bucket list includes the sunset sunrise, but a same day’s in and out will have to do.
If you wanted an overnight I think the northern section of the park is open, a different feel to the Arch but lovely hiking and camping as well. Seems to get more love from the rock climbers than the hikers
