How hard is the hike up Table Mountain?

The Cape mountain is rather steep, and though some Table Mountain hiking routes are not as abrupt as others, you still need to be at least moderately fit to enjoy a hike to the top. The shortest hikes up the front face of the landmark mountain are the steepest, and therefore, not the easiest.

The hike up Lion's Head is much easier physically than Table Mountain. Not only is it a shorter hike but it zig zag's around the mountain whereas Table Mountain is a straight shot up. Lion's Head is also a more fun hike in my opinion as there are some very minor rock climbing (chains and ladders) aspect to it!
