Hi Trailers!
Table Mountain North Face Traverse
Route
A straightforward out and back run along the scenic trail across the North Face of Table Mountain to Oppelskop and return.
Rendezvous and start time
RV in the upper Kloof Nek parking area at the foot of Tafelberg Rd on your left. Ready to start at 06h00.
How to get there?
Drive up Kloof Nek Rd to the top and follow the signs to the Cable Station. After turning left onto Tafelberg Rd you will see a parking area on your left, it has two levels, turn left into the upper level.
Terrain and distance
A good fairly steep climb to the upper contour path below Kloof Corner ridge then along the undulating single mountain contour trail which runs across the North face overlooking the City.
Once up on the contour path there are a few modest gradients and most of it is along a single gravel and rocky trail with occasional precipitous short stretches but the route is easy to follow. Distance about 12-14 kms taking more or less about 2hrs 30m.
Groups
This is a pack run with regular regroups, we will split into speed groups with leaders and sweeps on the morning. The Walking Group to be confirmed on Friday.
