What To Expect
Table Mountain offers some of the most unique and dramatic climbing experiences you can find on earth! We will usually take the Cable Car up and abseil/rappel down the cliff that we will be climbing. Depending on the time of day we will be climbing above the Atlantic Ocean (Camps Bay) or above Cape Town City Centre, either way, it's mind-blowing. The climbing is all traditional (no bolts are in the rock) and it will involve 3-4 pitches (+- 100m/300ft.) of climbing. Grades and Skill level: - It is advised to have a basic level of rock-climbing experience but most of our clients have never done a multi-pitch before! - Grades are adjusted for each client and their needs. Note: the attractions below will be in clear view during our activity. Actually, we'll have the BEST view around :)

Climbing table mountain and learning multipitch and trad

5.00We spent two incredible days with Kai climbing Table Mountain, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. From the very beginning, he created a calm, supportive, and professional atmosphere that made us feel completely safe and confident. We were learning trad climbing and multipitching, and Kai explained everything clearly, patiently, and in a way that really built our understanding rather than just guiding us up the route. His knowledge of the mountain, the routes, and safety systems was impressive, and we always felt in very good hands. Beyond his technical skills, Kai is simply a very kind and appreciative person who genuinely cares about giving you the best possible experience. He adapts to your level, encourages you at the right moments, and makes the whole adventure both fun and empowering. If you want to make the most out of your time on Table Mountain or in the surrounding mountains, I can highly recommend booking a tour with him. We would absolutely climb with him again!
Excellent climbing experience

5.00Climbing with Kai was simply amazing. He is the best guide I have had in my life. His technical knowledge is visible and he always motivates you to do your best. If you want to have fun climbing in SA or simply try it for the first time, Kai is the right person for assignment. Thank you, Kai. Hope we can climb again soon.
Sick experience with professional guide

5.00Great and professional guide that finds the perfect climbing itinerary depending on your level. It was my second time climbing but got to do a challenging climb (level 5b) with sick views on my own pace. It's one of the best ways to get an adrenaline rush while enjoying the best views of the surrounding bay and mountains. Additionally, I got a full briefing about safety, belaying and rope management. Would definitely highly recommend!
LEGENDARY

5.00What can I say!? Kai is a legend. Me and my wife did a days trad climbing on table mountain. We abseiled down to the start of the climb and just had a blast from start to finish. He was very considerate of needs and capabilities throughout the day! Highly recommended 👌 I also did a solo day of climbing with Kai and equally had an absolutely amazing day. Scary times in total control!! Legendary!!! Thank for the memories bro!! Mat and Sophie from the UK 🇬🇧

5.00What an awesome day! Kai and Ross were amazing. Kai was great with changing the booking based on the weather and was super responsive. I climbed with Ross who was super patient with me as I’m dealing with a shoulder injury. I didn’t get to complete the route - my choice - but I’ll definitely be back when my shoulder is stronger. I felt safe the entire time and learned so much about Table Mountains flora and fauna on the hike up and back down. Five stars. What an awesome experience!
Great Experience for Climbers at Any Level

5.00Me and my family climbed in the Silvermines part of table mountain with Kai and had a fantastic time! Our group had very beginner climbers and me who is a bit more advanced. Kai helped us pick the best trip for us and we all had a great time. He helped teach me more about belaying and outdoor climbing too which was awesome. He brought a partner whose name I can’t recall right now and this let us have multiple climbers going at the same time. We all felt very safe and had a blast. Kai was also very easy to communicate with. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Cape Town!
Amazing guide!

Fun jaunt on amazing rock with an A+ guide

5.00My experience with the Climb Table Mountain crew was a blast. I was guided by Kai, who was super knowledgable and fun company. As a relatively experienced climber, I was returning from an injury that kept me away from climbing for a couple of months, so Kai tailored the day to give me an adventurous experience but kept the route choice relaxed and enjoyable. I had also never climbed trad before, so I followed on the gear Kai placed. He ran me through the fundamentals of gear placement (for demonstration purposes only) and cleaning, which was a great education on its own. We climbed four pitches, and the rock was incredible - super grippy sandstone that felt secure and uniquely featured; a good mix of face, arete and traverse climbing. Throughout the leadup, Kai's communication was just the right amount, and he really worked to give me the experience I was after. This was my only opportunity to climb in SA on this trip, and it did not disappoint. Experienced or not, it's always great to climb with someone who really knows a spot and can take you up great routes. Don't think about it, just book it ;)
