Sunday's route description
Distance: 7 - 8km (estimate)
Elevation gain: 400-450m
Starting at Devils Peak trailhead, we'll follow a route that has a series of switchbacks to reach the contour path. A nice fairly flat stretch on the contour path before climbing towards the Woodstock cave.
The cave is one of the largest on Table Mountain and is formed by a horizontal crack - 50 metres wide and 15 metres deep. It is situated halfway up Devils Peak and offers amazing panoramic views of Cape Town CBD, Lions Head and Table Bay below.
We'll continue the hike towards the middle traverse with a short steep climb towards the Devils Peak saddle. From the saddle we start descending towards the car park. Watch your step, it is a bit rocky and your legs might feel like jelly after all the climbing.
