GRADE 4B, MEDIUM/FAST PACE
Please note that this hike takes place on a Saturday.
This hike takes in 6 of Silvermine's peaks. By the end of the day we'll have walked in a large circle through much of Silvermine East. Our day begins with the immediate ascent up the rugged spine of Wolfkop (446 m). From there we will follow the ridgeline to Higher Steenberg Peak (537 m). We continue on the high trail that leads up to Muizenberg Peak (507 m). Then we cross the top of Pecks Valley to get to St James Peak (422 m), after which we drop down to the Amphitheatre basin and make our way to Kalk Bay Peak (516 m). Our final peak of the day is Maiden Peak (372 m) as we start to close the loop. The day ends with a diversion past the Silvermine Waterfall as we head back to our cars. This is a long, rewarding day out. The hiking is not very technical but endurance for a full day on the mountain is a must.
Please earmark the Sunday as an alternative hiking day in case of predicted poor weather on the Saturday.
