The route has a good path throughout and there are no ridiculously steep scrambles. Seasoned hikers consider this a good one for those new to hiking. Langalibalele, which is isiHlubi for: the sun is boiling hot, was once a pass used by the Hlubi people, under the leadership of Chief Langalibalele, mainly as a route through which to transport stolen cattle. Giant’s Castle is famous for the Langalibalele Rebellion when the chief refused to register his tribe’s firearms resulting in a subsequent battle during which three colonial troops were killed on the Bushman’s River Pass, now known as the Langalibalele Pass.
