This is a moderately difficult hike with some ladders and scrambling included. Patrick was a fantastic guide and incredibly knowledgeable. The views were breathtaking and it was well worth the effort.

The ladders and scrambling definitely add some adventure, and I’m glad the breathtaking views made it all the more rewarding. It was a pleasure guiding you, and I’d be happy to welcome you back for another hike in Cape Town!
