Itinerary description

Tough. Do not attempt this trail of uou have vertigo or a fear of heights. From the entry point its a constant climb to the top and after the Sphinx gets very difficult to the top. The top stretch to Blindmans corner is great and fhe highest part of the hike. The trip down through kearsons is very hard and technical. Its dangerous at times and mistakes will not end well. Take it slow and easy and concentrate. You need proper hiking boots and please dont try this hike on a wym. Plan for it, train for it and be mentally ready for it. It offers amazing views and a huge feeling of acomplishment.
