    The trail up Lion's Head follows a scenic spiral path that wraps around the mountain, offering ever-changing views as you ascend. Along the way, the path becomes steeper and more rugged, requiring you to use your hands and feet to scramble over sections of rock. The route continues to the first ladder before crossing a narrow ledge equipped with a chain handrail. From here, you will reach a junction, leading up two rock sections via ladders to the crest of the southeast ridge. Near the summit, the final stretch involves a short scramble and one last ladder before reaching the 669-metre peak. From the top of Lion's Head, you'll be rewarded with spectacular 360-degree views of Cape Town and Table Mountain. As the light changes, you'll witness the city gradually come alive as its lights switch on at sunset, or watch them fade away at sunrise, creating an unforgettable panorama. A headlamp is provided whenever required. The descent follows the same route and takes around 60 minutes.
