Baboons pass 2025

[Saxj]

Well since I did it in 2019, I would love to do it again, this time in the Jimny.

In that Jimny, it will be a breeze

I am not sure that mountain remains the Boss, still considering to fir my TRE Air locker to the front diff, rear e locker works like a dream.

The rear locker is all you need. A front locker would be overkill

Happy to be a nogshlepper again. If I may be so brave as to suggest a further prerequisite - difflock. The nondiff lock cars sukkeled much more last time and required much more rock packing

Should have added TC as well

I did Baboons 2017 open diff 2wd

And 2019 Tiny Tiger with Woolf
Was a blast

For the guys who have not done it
You need to do it
It is a bucket list

I might spectate with someone looking for a LF

[PsyPhin]

Sorry but I have a scheduling conflict and need to pull out please.
Will have to do this another time

[Rechardt]

Okay, so I am unfortunately off the Tentative list . Will have to take a rain check on this trip.

Soos met carnage trip, weet ek glad nie of ek die een sal kan maak nie.
As die tien spots vol is, haal myne af vir iemand anders sin.
Andersins hoop ek ek het al genoegsaam herstel na my val om darem die een te maak. Ek hou julle op hoogte hoe my vordering gaan, om te kyk of ek wel die een kan maak.

[Trolly Fan]

As regards the event above, please can those that are still thinking about it, let me know, I will need firmer numbers to start making bookings for the night before and night after driving the pass.

Reenen, I will keep you in mind. Perhaps, just maybe you can still make it.

Thanks

Hi Trolly van, I am going to pass this one, truly considered it.

[Saxj]

Apologies, I'm going to have to skip this time around.

[Rechardt]

Just a big ask.
What is the possibility of postponing to another date, obviously based on numbers.?

Hi Rechardt
If there are specific dates that you have in mind, let me know.
For the overnight spot at the start (Ramabanta trading post), one does not really need to book if you intend to camp only.
They know we are coming though, and it is not going to be a busy weekend when we get there. Sometimes they have 'events' there, so I will need to check in with them, if you have a specific alternative time you have in mind.
I am however at the point to book for the end spot (Semonkong, which needs to be booked)

Note however, it is difficult to find a mutually suitable time, with sufficient public holidays etc.
Also, in the summer it rains - not good for boulders on a narrow mountain pass.
In winter the whether can be very unpredictable, and unpleasant (between 1800 and 2800 meters above sea).
So the ideal times are in autumn and spring.

Hi,
Please move me to the definite list if this trip is still happening. Thanks

Looks like a hell of a lot of fun, just for clarity if the group gets through the pass in 1 day they would head back home on the 28th?
