Every full moon tons of people make the hour long hike up to Lion's Head, a solitary peak overlooking Town. It was raining yesterday up until about 5:30 pm when we decided to pull the trigger. The forecast said clear skies by 9:00 pm, kind of hard to trust when it also said 10% chance of rain and it was pouring, but we decided to go for it. We taxied over to the base and were half way up by the time the sun set. By about 6:30 we switched the headlamps on and made it to the top by around 7:00.
Once at the top we were a bit surprised at how few people were there due to the rain. We had heard sometimes there were hundreds of people and will probably be expecting that once late spring/early summer rolls around. At the top we ate our parmesan veggie pasta and enjoyed some cheap South African wine. My roommate, Michael brought some portable speakers as well which was sweet. Overall great night as we didn't end up getting rained on and met some cool people at the top.
