Hi Ruth, any advice for someone who is afraid of heights? What elevation challenges does the Otter present and which day(s) would be the most challenging?
My advice would be to take it slow, and if you feel uncertain then try taking off your backpack and handing it over to someone else for a short section. Only move one hand or foot at a time on the tricky sections. In my opinion the heights on the Otter are not as bad as some of the heights in the Drakensberg, but they can still be a little scary. Thankfully, those sections do not last very long.
