Description
Some of the best trad climbs at Boven, and great views of the waterfall. However, it‟s a pity the ledges and the base of the crag are littered with nasty rubbish (the locals use the cliff as a dumping site..). It's still worth it for the 4 and 5 star lines though.

Approach
Drive into the township, pass the post boxes and Shebeens (bars) then take the next right. Follow this road, around a bend past the high school on the left. After another 100m, take a sharp right beside house "675". Follow this rough track, through the grass, past some pig sties to a rocky parking area by some large prehistoric-looking plants. Walk to the large rocks at the cliff edge and on the right you will see wide gully. Further right you can look down onto the detached pillar which hosts "Coming Of Pride" etc. Scramble easily down the gully 5m to the large fig trees. Abseil off one of the trees 18m to the ground. Leave a top rope up so that you can climb out (grade 12 ish). 'Two For Tree' (17) climbs the right wall (looking out) of the gully.
