Description
North
When standing on top of 'The Gaper Buttress', one looks down onto 'Triple Tier Crags' on the other side of the gorge. It's an amazing place to climb and explore, there are some top class routes and lots of potential, but it just requires a little effort. Some routes here are reached by abseiling onto a stance and then climbing out.

Approach
The best access to 'The Restaurant Crags' and 'Triple Tier Crags' is to park at Tegwaan Country Getaway (https://www.tegwaan.co.za/). Driving from the main road of Boven turning to Tranquilitas, turn left after 2,5km into Tegwaan ; or from the other direction, 4,5km from the Tranquilitas Camp on your right. Drive straight towards the main houses (close the farm gate behind you) and park by the sign that says "Parking". Walk straight over the dirt track onto a hiking trail past some dams and follow signs for the "Stone Circle Trail". Along the trail, go over a T-junction onto a Y-split about 30m further. Take the left split and follow your nose towards the crags. Close to the little gorge where a small crag called The Gym is found, there is another Y-split in the path. The left trail goes to the Gym and Restaurant/Gaper areas. The right split goes to Triple Tier.
