The Ape is an escarpment peak in the Injisuthi area, in the high country near the Molar. The Molar is a separate rock-climbing objective; an escarpment hike visiting The Ape does not include that climb.

Injisuthi access: Flood damage has affected the camp approach and river-valley paths. Read our Marble Baths and Injisuthi flood update, and check current access with Ezemvelo before travelling.

Explore the Injisuthi area: The Injisuthi area offers day walks and longer journeys through steep valleys and high mountain country. Injisuthi camp is the usual starting point for many local walks. Read our Injisuthi Nature Reserve guide for more about the area and planning a visit.
