Morning Stroll  Sucess!

I was in town for a few days so I strolled up Platteklip Gorge then over to the Beacon. I got up the gorge, which is apparently 2300 feet, in one hour. So it's an excellent trail for gaining elevation quickly. The views were top notch, as were the flora and fauna.

The rest of the Table atop the Apostles is amazing with glorious fynbos, grand views and few people.

Platteklip Gorge  Sucess!

First trip in April 2008, up Platteklip Gorge just down the road from the cable car. Planned to ride the car down but wind closed it- hiked down. Bright and sunny when I started but wind and fog enveloped before I made it over to the true highpoint.

Second outing in October 2009 with Devil's Peak. Tried for an hour to get up from the saddle. Couldn't find a good route so followed the trail down and up Platteklip again.

India window?  Sucess!

Climbed it via the "India window". That's what it was called, don't know any other names. It was a more adventurous route for sure.

Quickie Up Platteklip Gorge  Sucess!

A window finally opened after 4 days of waiting in Cape Town. About 1.5 hours up to trail junction despite being way out of shape and breathing nasty fumes downtown for 10 days. Beautiful place with neat vegetation.

I'm actually from SA but moved to the states in 92, a beautiful day hike. Some of the best oceanic cliff views around. Truly Breathtaking!

Route Climbed: Platteklip Gorge Date Climbed: October 2004  Sucess!

Easy climb on a beautiful day. The most beautiful place on earth? Earlier in the week, it was too rainy/cloudy to go to the summit, so I did a longer hike starting at the Platteklip Gorge trailhead around the side of the mountatin to Constantia Nek and then to my friends house in Hout Bay.
