About this route
The classic South Peninsula road climb over the Silvermine mountains on the M64. From the Westlake side it is 6.6 km at 4.7% average (max 7.8%), climbing from 24 m to the 312 m summit — a myCols category-3 climb and a staple of Cape Town training loops linking the Constantia valley to Noordhoek/Fish Hoek.
