Leave the Nursery Ravine path and move up along the foot of the rock, through a clump of trees to a recess, which after 7 meters changes into a long, narrow overhang. This overhang stretches some 20 meters across the bottom section of the buttress. The recess is directly under the left-hand end of the overhang and almost directly under the crack in the top overhang.
1. 21m ‘13’: Climb 5m up the recess, then traverse to the right under the overhang to reach a wide ledge. Walk 5m to the right. 2. 10m ‘9’: Climb a right-angled recess which ends in a crack with a chockstone in it. 3. 11m ‘13’: Climb up into the recess, continue to a small ledge, then traverse around to the left into a deep chimney. 4. 7m ‘9’: Climb a chimney to a ledge under a big overhang. Walk 7m to the left to a notch in the overhangs with a dassie-ledge immediately under it. 5. 10m ‘16’: Climb the notch, via the dassie-ledge, and continue up the recess to a stance. 6. 7m ‘9’: Climb a chimney, passing to the left of a projecting flake. There is a stance in the cave. 7. 13m ‘14’: Climb up into the crack, then move out along it to round the overhang. Climb the right-hand one of two recesses above the exit to the crack. Walk of to the left to the top of Nursery Ravine. Heni Snijders & Marie Kotze 28/01/1967
