Eastman's Peak

Eastman's Peak rises above the Ndedema valley in the Cathedral Peak and Didima area. The contour path gives access to the surrounding slopes, but reaching the summit is a separate scrambling or climbing undertaking.

Route choice matters on the rock. An MCSA trip account describes roped climbing and an abseil on the line used by that party, so the peak should not be treated as a straightforward path walk. An ascent needs suitable route knowledge and the skills and equipment for the chosen line, including the descent.
