Trail Description

A spiralling climb up the distinctive peak between Table Mountain and the sea, hugely popular for sunrise and full moon walks. The path winds around the mountain with ladders and chains on the final rocky section to the summit. The reward is a 360 degree view over Cape Town, the Atlantic and the Twelve Apostles.
