GRADE 3D, MEDIUM PACE
Please note that this hike takes place on a Saturday.
Max 10. A moderately challenging scramble on the Atlantic side of Table Mountain, seventh of the 12 Apostles. It’s more than a hike but short of full-on climbing, so expect to use your hands for much of the way. Exposure is moderate, and there’s very little tedious slogging between the fun bits.
We’ll follow the Pipe Track to the base of the buttress. The first pitches are a good place to settle in and find your feet. After that the scrambling gets more continuous, with a few more pitches higher up.
At the top we’ll join the Apostles Path. From there the group can either descend via Woody Ravine or Kasteelspoort.
Suitable for members with a reasonably good head for heights who are comfortable scrambling. The route is unmarked, with no signs, painted arrows or fixed aids, so we’ll be navigating by cairns.
Bookings open 2 months before the hike. Bookings close 2 days before the hike at 18h00. No smoking on the hike.
