Before the floods, this three-day, two-night circuit linked Injisuthi Camp, Centenary Hut and Marble Baths Cave. It combined ridge views with steep descents and pathless sections.

Day one covered a testing 10.5km to Centenary Hut, with the prospect of sunrise views the following morning. Day 2 crossed pathless ground, with a steep descent and a short climb near the end. Walking poles can help on the long downhill.

The final day crossed another valley before descending to Injisuthi Camp, with wide views of the surrounding Drakensberg.
