Description
A must do classic. This route is an excellent introduction the airy traverses found on Table Mountain.
Approach:
Facing the mountain, hike to the far left side of Staircase Ledge. You will have to shuffle around an awkward boulder and step onto a well worn tree. This marks the start of the route.
P1, 12 meters, grade 14. Starting from the tree climb a crack near the arête until you reach an overhang. Build a cramped belay in the pod below the overhang.
P2, 35 meters, grade 16. From the pod traverse right on a system of parallel horizontal hand cracks and juggy rails. Traverse up and right until you reach a corner. Then look for a vertical crack system. Climb these cracks until they give way to a good belay ledge.
Route finding is a little tricky for me on this pitch. I just climb right and up and hope for the best. If someone has better beta, then please post it in the comments.
P3, 20 meters, grade 15. Shuffle to the left side of the belay ledge. Pull one hard move off the ledge, and then scramble to the summit. Prepare to be heckled by tourists from the cable car.
