If someone tells you “Platteklip Gorge is the easiest way up Table Mountain,” just know… they mean it’s the shortest, not the chillest.

This short video captures my sweaty, scenic scramble up the most direct (and wildly vertical) route to the top of Cape Town’s iconic Table Mountain.

It’s stairmaster-meets-nature, but the payoff? Absolutely worth it. Towering cliffs, heart-racing elevation, and that cinematic view waiting at the summit. Bring water, patience, and the ability to laugh at your burning calves.

📍 Platteklip Gorge | Cape Town, South Africa

🥾 Trail type: Steep stone stair climb straight to the top

🎥 Short video. Big effort. Bigger views.

✨ Legs shaking, heart full — that’s the Cape Town way.
