Itinerary description

This trail takes in a direct summit trail to Table Mountain's Devils Peak.

The track takes a upward route from the start, over a technical, single track to the summit. Remember to look back and view the city from the various vantage points as one ascends. The trail then descends via the same route to the end at the Newlands Forestry Station; except for a small section near the summit.

Due to the trail's exposure, remember to bring along a sunhat, sunscreen, plenty of water, some food, and even if its a clear, sunny day, some warm clothing.
