There is also a path without a ladder, it is only a maximum of 10 minutes longer.

Fun hike / climb to the summit. Achievable by people of all ages in a few hours. The area at the summit is relatively small, so the enjoyment is the hike up and down. Spectacular views of Table Mountain, Cape Town city bowl, beaches, ocean, and sky.

Some places have steep sides, loose gravel, or narrow paths which only allow one person past at a time. The route can be busy and congested in school holidays, and peak tourism season (December to February).

The route has very little shade, and is best just after sunrise, or before sunset.

Make a highlight for the Dassies here. Quite amazing rock dwellers who like to lie in the sun for hours and hardly have to drink. Weighs only about 4 kg, but are genetically related to elephants and manatees. Yes, that amazed me too. Since I had very few visitors up at Lion's Head, I was able to watch my colleagues nicely.
