Lion’s Head

Lion’s Head is part of the Cape Town backdrop.  It’s near Table Mountain, although not nearly as high.  Two British guys I met cage diving invited me to walk up it with them the same afternoon.  The panoramic view was amazing, and the walk was satisfyingly tough, but didn’t kill us.  Afterwards, we stopped at their hotel bar for much deserved mojitos.

 

This is a puff adder. They are actually quite dangerous due to their fast strike. Luckily, we left it alone (as we didn't know what it was at the time)

once you get almost to the top there's a little climbing
