SUTHER PEAK HOUTBAY

R950-450 per person

The route starts at Sandy bay neck and winds steadily up to the base of the unassuming Suther peak with rock formations in the distance setting the imagination on fire with a few easy scrambles and chains. After the steep incline and working up a sweat we reach the base of the rock formation a nice spot for a break. Then the fun begins we add some adventure by not taking the normal route! We exit right and after a few meters our inner child is awoken as we head into a system of cracks, tunnels and caves exploring and glimpsing the amazing views trough the cracks. We then do some path finding through head-high rocks and bushes looking for a large cairn and a crack on the top of a large boulder which leads us to some tree climbing and scrambling and maybe a bit of crawling!
At the top op Suther there is short scramble to the trig where you will be treated to breathtaking views of Hout Bay, Sandy Bay, Lions Head and Little Lions Head (pretty cool seeing both “lions” together).
