Good entry or exit from the hiking trails to Table Mountain. On the photos you can see the mountain station of the cable car at the very top. From Kloof Corner you have a view over Cape Town to the right and the beach towns of Camps Bay and Clifton Beach to the left. In between the majestic Lions Head.

The climb is quite steep to start off with, a few Zig-Zags that gradually climb with one or two big steps between the turns in the beginning. The last few meters are Steps straight up to the "top" of Kloof Corner. Beautiful views of Lions Head, Signal Hill, Camps Bay, and Cape Town's City Skyline. At the top, there is space to catch your breath and rehydrate. On hot days there is very little shade. On Summer mornings, you could find relief at the top, around the corner from the Black and White beacon. The rest of the way would be bathed with the Sun. Best to start early. This trail could be the beginning of a long day on the mountain, depending on how adventurous you are.
