About: Table Mountain Classics. A guide to walks, scrambles and moderate rock climbs

Table Mountain is a huge sprawling massif covering approximately 50 square kilometres. It has four distinct sides and three satellite peaks, Devil's Peak, Lion's Head and Mount Rhodes. There are a multitude of walks, scrambles and climbs criss-crossing every side and every peak, and in this book I endeavour to describe them in as clear and understandable a way as possible, making finding the start of your intended route a simple task and indeed the route itself easy to follow. For ease of use I have divided the Table Mountain Classics into several sections:
