* Warning: Dangerously exposed areas and scrambling (assisted by grips and steps fixed into the rock).  Attempt with caution, esp. with children.

This hike offers some of the best views possible over Hout Bay, Llundudno, and south over Chapman's peak.

Route description
The route starts from the top of Suikerbossie hill, the pass between Hout Bay and Llundudno.  Driving from Hout Bay up Suikerbossie, watch for a sign about 50 metres from the top of the hill, on the left, indicating  Victoria Drive Access Road exit on the right.  This is the only road turning right off Suikerbossie.  Turn right into Victoria Drive Access Road and about 150m ahead of you is the entrance to Ryuterplaats Private Mountain Estate.  Park in the area provided on the left before getting to this entrance.  The route begins just to the left of this entrance gate and is well sign-posted.
