Blokhuiskop - Clovelly

This out-and-back hike begins either in Kalk Bay or Clovelly and leads to the saddle between Kalk Bay and Clovelly. From there, the trail ascends to Cave Peak and then runs along the cliff base before continuing to the summit. Hikers can then traverse along the mountain top to Blokhuiskop. 

For the adventurous, there’s a narrow passageway leading down to the Clovelly side, which allows for a loop around Blokhuiskop; however, this option requires careful route finding and may be challenging for those who aren’t familiar with the area. Return options are the same route down or a higher traverse past the Clovelly side entrance to Boomslang Cave or via Echo Valley.

Route Notes: The hike up to Cave Peak is relatively steep but the path is easy to navigate. The route along the base of the cliff requires some easy scrambling with no exposure to heights. The final ascent to the top is also very manageable as is the path to Blokhuiskop. The optional circular route at the top of Blokhuiskop through to the Clovelly side is not obvious and is better attempted with a guide.
