Du Toit's Peak, Mountain summit in Western Cape, South Africa
Du Toit's Peak rises to 1995 meters in elevation within the Cape Fold Belt, presenting steep cliffs and sandstone formations along its slopes.
The peak became a significant geographical marker for early maritime navigation, being the highest seaward-facing mountain visible from the ocean in the Cape mountains.
The Mountain Club of South Africa maintains hiking routes and facilities around the peak, establishing a strong mountaineering tradition in the Western Cape region.
Hikers need permits to access the Hawequas Mountain Catchment Area and must carry sufficient water supplies due to limited sources along the 12-kilometer trail.
The mountain features two distinct climbing routes: the Plum Pudding Ridge approach and the Ridges descent path, each requiring different technical climbing skills.
