Approach

There are two approaches. The shortest approach is to park on the R62, immediately after crossing the Kingnar Rivier when entering Montagu town from Ashton. Cross the river, then walk along the path on the left for about 100m. Look for the two cairns on the boulders above you on the right. Head for the huge slabs up the hill. The crag is arranged in a few tiers up the hill.
This approach is dependant on water levels, and changes after every flood.

The alternative approach is to start from Piet se rd by parking here (or click the google parking link above)
