The hike gets its name from the shape of the ravine set between two large rock buttresses, offering one of the best viewpoints. The trail starts behind the lower cableway station, heading straight up Table Mountain before reaching the contour path. From here, the route gradually ascends a gully on a buttress known as Venster Buttress and veers left below a dramatic rock amphitheater.
As you approach the eastern end of this amphitheater, the trail becomes steeper with some easy scrambling—stay focused, the most exciting section is still to come. Staples and chains have been installed along the way, making the climb more accessible and secure.
Beyond this section, the path eases toward “The Ledge” and around the corner, where a refreshing breeze often greets you—an ideal spot to take in views over Camps Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Rounding the next corner, towering cliffs rise above as the trail continues southeast, climbing steeply to a higher ledge beneath massive overhangs. It then turns away from the sea into a shaded ravine, often cool and windy in the morning.
From here, the summit is just 10 minutes away—well done!
