More accessible, less committing, sheltered from The South Easter - and it has a REAL summit! Lions Head Trad Climbing is wholly underrated. The Granite sector is a welcome change, and can be linked to the upper Sandstone sections for a longer true ascent.

With the option to single pitch most of the multi pitch routes (as well all the Eastern flank's climbing being only single pitch), Lions Head is a common venue to learn to trad climb (and why we instruct our Accelerated Trad Leader course here), or for a pre or post work climb.

The Granite sector is typical on angle / slab climbing on hard featured (big crystals) Granite varying from 2 to 4 pitches in length. The Upper Sandstone is slightly more broken as a crag with prominent ledges offering easy stances while the face climbing is similarly featured to Table Mountain.

The lower paths (not useful for climbing unless you are walking back to town) have been occasionally targeted by petty crime - be vigilant.
