== Approach ==
Park at the top of Ou Kaapse Weg, on the Muizenberg side. Parking costs R5 per car (October 2006). Walk past the old boulder (i.e., the [[Silvermine Boulder]]) to the end of the road, follow the big path up the hill, turn left on top and walk for about 5 mins until you see a clump of boulders about 20m off the path on the right (you might see chalk). These are the Turtle boulders. If you get to the fork in the path (near the big overhang) you have gone too far.

From the Turtle boulders turn left (down). Follow the "path" to a big ledge (approx 100m), then go right along the big ledge for approx 150m before going down a small gully. Keep following the path down and right. For the Faithless Wall - keep going along the big ledge. It all becomes very obvious on your second visit.
