Active 7 years, 3 months ago
@cbalke thanks again for trying to help. I tried to post the rest of my TR as a reply and it would not post. Then I tried to just post small sections and it still would not work. I even tried to post one photo as a ‘reply’ and still it just sent me back to the page that you brought back, but with no content. Then I tried to do as “edit”. I […] View

    snowsavage replied to the topic The Mother Continent: Gondwanaland Part 1 in the forum Trip Reports 7 years, 3 months ago

    Homo Habilis arose in Africa 2.4 million years ago.

    The time period since Domestication and cereal Agriculture, the base foundation for our world-system and experiential reality today, represents less than one half of one percent of human history.

    This particular rockshelter was likely used by humans for a million years or more. Australopithecus, Habilis, Ergaster, Heidelbergensis, and Sapien all possibly took shelter here.

    And now I, the snowboarder, have the honor of building a fire and laying my head down here. I can only do so with deep thoughts and a heavy heart.

    A rockshelter used by human hunters for tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of years, was utilized for an overnight stay. You can see the entrance to the shelter in the middle-left of this photo.

    Most of the animals painted by the hunters were Elands, which continue to graze today in the surrounding grasslands. Elands abound, yet…[Read more]

    Shred mission accomplished, but an important quest still remained. I needed to head back into the mountain canyons to spend some quality time with the spirits of the ancient hunters.

    To get there it was necessary to pass through Zulu homelands.

    After a certain point all signs of crop and animals domestication were gone and the trail gave…[Read more]

    Safari with a splitboard stuffed in a car, baking away in the sun. The mountain Zebras are calling. Let’s go see about that storm.

    As the sun drops clouds begin to amass over the high peaks and the cold moisture of a storm is in the air.

    Time to implement plan B.

    With my gear all packed up, I hitched to a place where I knew there was in fact enough snow for turns in Africa. The Suthu welcomed me enthusiastically with open arms. They, of course, had never seen a splitboard. The first hitchhiking splitboarder they had even seen, I was given red carpet status and put straight…[Read more]

    As the sun drops clouds begin to amass over the high peaks and the cold moisture of a storm is in the air.

    In the morning it’s raining down low and the highlands are enveloped in clouds, darkness covers the African sky. We decide to go in further and have a look.

    Fully soaked by cold rain, we find accommodation in an ancient Paleolithic r…[Read more]

    Enter land of the baobab.

    And into the veld for a few days of walking amongst the Mopani

    According my contact’s smartphone forecast, in a few days snow enough for African backcountry skiing might fall from the sky.

    Ski trips are always gambles and I often gamble with them. This time I am gambling big. Several years back some photos of snow covered peaks in southern Africa had caught my eye and an idea grew in me that one day I w…[Read more]

    This is a multifaceted holistic-minded epic, so sit tight and settle in (If you are only interested in snow photos then just scroll through and you’ll find them).

    Welcome to the Spirit World – Land of the Ancestors

    The journey begins under the setting sun on a hillside where 1.7 million years ago man controlled fire.
