A circular day hike starting at Sentinal Car Park and up to the Chain Ladder which is one of the easiest passes. The final 30m of the cliff face is ascended by means of a two-section chain ladder.
Once at top you make your way to the Amphitheatre / Tugela Falls for stunning views and the return is down the short and steep Beacon Buttress gully, a fun alternative to the Chain Ladder Route.
