GRADE 4D
The route starts halfway up Newlands Ravine from the contour path. Once you get to the rock band, the climbing doesn’t stop. From here, it’s pretty much continuous scrambling and jumping over rocks to the top of the buttress which is a lot of fun. Scrambling experience and a good head for heights are required for this one. Descend via Newlands Ravine. Fast-paced hike — for those comfortable with sustained climbs and minimal breaks.
Bookings open 2 months before the hike. Bookings close the Friday before the hike at 18h00. No smoking on the hike.
