This iconic peak offers one of the most rewarding hikes in the city. The trail going up Lion’s head is a screw top you’ll be circling the mountain getting to the top getting views in all directions. At one point the path gives way to rough ground and you have to step up using your hands to scramble over rocks. You will then continue steeply upwards to the first ladder, before traversing left along a shelf with a chain handrail. Next, you will continue until you reach a fork, where you go up two rock pitches via two ladders to gain the crest of the southeast ridge. The upper section near the top, the hiking trail turns into a short scramble with the last ladder to the 669-meter summit.
