Arguably the best half-day route to the summit, this sensational route leads up an imposing part of the Table Mountain, offering excellent city and sea views. Involves scrambling and exposure to heights (narrow ledges – nothing extreme) about 15% of the way, therefore ideal for, but not restricted to the more adventurous. You also need a decent head for heights. Dramatic topography, exciting hiking, superb views. 15% discount if you book directly through the Hike Table Mountain website.

Great to hike with Steph - very informative, engaging and gave me plenty of confidence during the scrambling. I had never scrambled before and overall thought this route was tougher than I expected. I was the eldest by far in our group making up the rear, however Steph always ensured and managed the group well as we all stayed together. Thanks Hike Table Mountain for a memorable experience in your beautiful city!

Riaan was an absolutely amazing guide. He made everyone feel extremely safe during scrambling and ensured we all felt good about our hiking tempo. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a ton of interesting facts about the mountain. He was super friendly and funny, ensuring a truly joyful experience. In addition he was very professional, making sure everyone was having a good and safe time throughout the hike. I completely recommend booking a hike with him as you will be in for a guaranteed wonderful experience.

The trip arrangement was all great and I got picked up by Stephanie as planned.
I was nervous about the India Venster route and how I would manage the chains and staple section, but Stephanie was extremely supportive and gave very clear instructions on where to place your hands and feet etc. Though I did hold the group up as I expected I would, for being a bit too slow, everyone was still supportive and overall I had a great time and a sense of achievement. I would recommend this company!
