The Left Face B trail is thrilling, exciting and certainly unforgettable!

The Left Face B trail starts on the popular trail, Platteklip Gorge (the highway up the mountain), but branches off to a rarely visited part of Table Mountain.

You have to do quite a bit of scrambling on this spectacular trail on the front face of Table Mountain. In other words, you must climb up rocks using both arms and feet. There is, for instance, one particularly tricky pitch for the vertically challenged. As qualified mountain guides, we have a rope and know how to help you safely overcome a difficult pitch, if needed.

Although you are not very exposed during scrambling during this route, there is an exposed ledge to traverse. Technically it is not difficult, as you simply have to walk on a narrow, relatively level path. But please don’t even consider hiking this route if you are afraid of heights. There is a steep drop during the traverse. If your head is right, all will be fine.

On the other hand, if you are looking for a real adrenaline experience, the Arrow Face Traverse is the trail for you.

During this trip, you will hike some fairly steep sections and grassy slopes. You will ascend the Left Face Buttress Gully and do an impressive step-around near the top. As a result, this stimulating trail guarantees ample variety and photo opportunities to create an unforgettable experience. Once on top of Table Mountain, we will walk to the Cableway, which will take us down.
