Cathedral Peak 3 Day Hike

Cathedral Peak is the highest, non-technical, free-standing mountain in South Africa and is a popular choice among hikes. We do this hike a bit differently to most companies. We spend 3 days tackling this peak unlike the usual two days. This makes the hike a lot easier and more enjoyable. We spend two nights sleeping in a cave while the middle day is spent ascending Cathedral Peak without a backpack! Pure bliss.

This hike covers 21km over the 3 day period, 4km on day 1, 13km on day 2, and 4km on day 3. Because of the short distance we do on day 1, our meeting time is only at 12pm,. This gives us plenty of time to introduce ourselves, do a pack check as well as a hike briefing and still arrive at Sherman’s Cave long before sunset. Because the hike is so short on the way down, generally not taking more than an hour, we like to stop at the Cathedral Peak Hotel for breakfast before driving back to whichever hobbit hole we came from.

The cost for this hike is R3,850 per person and includes:

• Qualified mountain guide and wilderness first responder
• dinners, breakfasts and hot drinks on the mountain
• equipment including sleeping bags, sleeping mats, backpacks, 3 ping pong balls and eating utensils
• hiking permits
• summit certificate.
