Swartkop Peak 678m
Swartkop Peak is above and just to the South of Simonstown. This was another of my solo efforts, activating the peak in August 2010. Coming across a massive puffadder laying in the path while on my way down gave me a hell of scare as these buggers are a big danger when hiking alone.
