Trail description

The most direct walk up Table Mountain, straight up a steep cleft in the front face above Cape Town. The path is a relentless staircase of stone with no shade, gaining a thousand feet of height in a couple of kilometres. Hard work, but it delivers you to the summit plateau and its huge views over the city and the sea.
