The Cobra Full

The 42 begins where vert meets water. The Atlantic winds whip your resolve as you ascend Pat's Track, a quick and steady climb daring you to push early. Lion's Head rises to your right, guiding you to the start of the Pipe Track at Kloof Corner.

The Pipe Track flows deceptively easy, a moment to catch your legs, but the mountain is patient. Kasteelspoort waits. This climb is your first real challenge, every step a negotiation with gravity and rock. You pass the reservoirs before you drop into Constantia Nek.

Drop into Constantia Nek and the farms begin: through Constantia Glen, up into Eagles Nest where a guitar plays at the gate between farms, back through the Glen and Beau Constantia. Then Vlakkenberg looms, steep and unforgiving. Over The Fang and down to Price Drive, the Vineyard Labyrinth opens: Groot Constantia, Klein Constantia, Buitenverwachting and one fast final kilometre down to The Den at Constantia Uitsig.
