After passing the South African border control post at an altitude of 1968 meters (6396 feet) we passed the treeline at about 2000 meters and eventually climbed through the last hair-raising hairpin turns. At the top of the pass we entered the independent country of Lesotho at an altitude of 2865 meters (9,400 feet). Hardy people raise sheep in this treeless and cold high country.
